Abstract

The power supply device has a temporary energy store, a main energy store, and a switching device. The switching device has three switching states. The temporary energy store is connected in the first switching state to a power supply input and is connected in the second switching state to the main energy store, which is connected to a power supply output. An energy discharge device is connected to the temporary energy store in the third switching state of the switching device which follows directly the second switching state.
