Abstract

A method for operating an electrical circuit including at least one half-bridge formed from two transistors wherein the electrical circuit is switched over between a first switching state, in which the first transistor of the half-bridge is switched to conductive by a first voltage value of a first control voltage and the second transistor of the half-bridge is switched to blocking by a second voltage value of a second control voltage, and a second switching state, in which the first transistor is switched to blocking by a second voltage value of the first control voltage and the second transistor is switched to conductive by a first voltage value of the second control voltage, wherein a dead time state, in which both transistors are switched to blocking, is assumed chronologically between the first switching state and the second switching state.
