Abstract
A switch includes a switching transistor, a switching resistor, connected between a control terminal of the switching transistor and a switching control terminal, and an accelerating element. The accelerating element includes a resistance smaller than a resistance of the switching resistor, the accelerating element being adapted to be connected in parallel to the switching resistor upon switching of the switching transistor until a voltage at the control terminal of the switching transistor has reached a predetermined value.
