Abstract

The invention relates to a method for actuating at least one semiconductor switch, in particular in a component of a motor vehicle. The at least one semiconductor switch can be switched with a control voltage (1) according to the following method steps: a1) specifying the control voltage (1) in a tolerance range (2) and a2) monitoring whether a control voltage (1) actually being applied to the at least one semiconductor switch exceeds at least one threshold (4, 5), wherein at least the following method step is carried out at at least one control time: b1) ascertaining a difference between the control voltage (1) actually being applied to the at least one semiconductor switch and the at least one threshold, the control voltage (1) specified according to step a1) being manipulated according to the at least one control time using the result from step b1).
