Patent attributes
An actuating circuit having a primary-side circuit part with an actuating logic circuit and a primary-side reference potential, and four secondary-side circuit parts each having one driver stage designed for actuating a phase of a three-level inverter and a first to fourth semiconductor switch, wherein each semiconductor switch and the secondary-side circuit part assigned thereto has a respective first to fourth secondary-side reference potential, and wherein in each case a level shifter connects the primary-side circuit part to the respective secondary-side circuit part and thus is assigned in each case to both circuit parts. In this connection, the primary-side reference potential corresponds to the first secondary-side reference potential. Furthermore, at least the actuating logic circuit, the first and second level shifters and the first and second driver stages are monolithically integrated.
