Abstract

The electronic switching device serves to control the connection of a load to a voltage source by a switch which is controlled in a first operating mode directly by a binary signal furnished by a signal processing circuit and in a second operating mode inverted. The switching device has three terminals, of which the first permanently remains connected to a first terminal of the voltage source and to a first terminal of the load, whilst of the other two switching device terminals the one is connected to the second terminal of the voltage source and the other to the second terminal of the load. The switching device is configured so that it can be changed over from the one operating mode into the other by interchanging the connections between these two other switching device terminals and the second terminals of the voltage source and of the load, respectively.
