The invention relates to an electric switching arrangement having a
charge pump (NCP) which has at least two connection contacts (a1, a2), of which a first connection contact (a1) is connected to a first
voltage potential (V1) and a second connection contact (a2) is connected via a series circuit, which has at least one first
capacitor (C1), a second
capacitor (C2) and a first
diode (D1) arranged between the two capacitors, to a second
voltage potential (V1) which is higher than the first
voltage potential (V1) and which is also connected, via a switching element, to the first
capacitor (C1), wherein the
charge pump (NCP) has a third connection contact (a3), which is connected to an output (AK1) of a first
comparator (K1) which has a first and a second
comparator input (K1-, K1+), of which the first
comparator input (K1-) is connected to an
anode potential (refP) of a second
diode (D2) at which the second voltage potential (V2) is applied and which is connected in series to the first
diode (D1) and in parallel to the second capacitor (C2), and of which the second comparator input (K1+) is connected to a
cathode potential (refN) of a third diode (D3) at the allocated
anode of which the second voltage potential (V2) is applied.
