Abstract

Various embodiments include a switch cell comprising: a semiconductor switch element; a micro-electromechanical switch element; and an electronic actuation circuit. The semiconductor switch element and the micro-electromechanical switch element are connected in parallel. In a switch-off process for the switch cell, the semiconductor switch element is switched off after the micro-electromechanical switch element is switched off.
