Zusammenfassung:An electronic converter comprising a switching stage having at least one electronic switch, wherein the switching stage is configured to provide current pulses via a terminal; a first capacitor, wherein the first capacitor provides a first voltage. Specifically, the electronic converter further includes a second capacitor to provide a second voltage, comparison means configured to detect the difference between the first voltage and the second voltage, and determine a comparison signal which indicates whether this difference is greater than a threshold, and switching means configured to selectively transfer the current to the first capacitor or the second capacitor as a function of the comparison signal. The switching means may include a SCR, where the anode of the SCR is connected to the terminal that provides current pulses and where the cathode of the SCR is connected to the second capacitor.
