Abstract

A full bridge that produces an alternating output signal can be driven by operating switching elements of the full bridge in each period in a switching sequence that determines the order of the activation and deactivation of the switching elements. The switching elements are switched in at least two different switching sequences, a first switching sequence is repeated n times before a second switching sequence is carried out, with n>1, or the switching elements are switched in at least three different switching sequences.
