Abstract

A circuit configuration for the limiting of current intensity and/or the edge slope of electrical signals includes: a voltage source; a switching element connected to the voltage source and equipped for switching the voltage source; and a limiting unit functionally positioned between the switching element and the voltage source, the limiting unit being equipped to limit a current intensity and/or an edge slope of an electrical signal in response to a switching process of the voltage source while using the switching element.
