a series circuit connected in parallel with said pair of input terminals and having;
a first switch; and
a low-pass filter having output terminals to be connected to a load;
a freewheeling circuit connected in parallel with said low-pass filter, said freewheeling circuit having a second switch, said second switch having;
a first load path terminal;
a second load path terminal;
a load path formed between said second load path terminal and said first load path terminal; and
a control terminal; and
said second switch being a MOS transistor having one of;
a floating body zone; and
a source zone, a non-reactive resistor, and a body zone connected to said source zone through said non-reactive resistor.

Abstract
A voltage transformer includes a pair of input terminals for applying an input voltage, a series circuit connected in parallel to the pair of input terminals of a first switch, and a low pass filter. The low pass filter has output terminals for connecting a load. A freewheeling circuit is connected in parallel to the low pass filter. The freewheeling circuit has a second switch, which is configured as a MOS transistor, with a gate terminal and a load path formed between a first load path terminal and a second load path terminal. The MOS transistor has a body zone mounted in a floated manner or connected to a source zone by an ohmic resistor.
