Abstract
A circuit configuration for driving a load is described. The circuit configuration has a first and a second connecting terminal for connecting the load, a first drive input for applying a first drive signal, and a first semiconductor switching element having a first load terminal connected to the first connecting terminal, a second load terminal connected to the second connecting terminal and a drive terminal coupled to the drive input. A voltage limiting circuit is provided and is connected between the first load terminal and the drive terminal of the first semiconductor switching element.
