Hydraulic control device for an automatic transmission

A hydraulic control device for controlling a plurality of multiple shift elements in an automatic transmission, each shift element of the plurality of shift elements comprising at least one hydraulic actuator having an actuating pressure chamber, the hydraulic control device comprising

• a shiftable stop valve;
• and
• a hydraulic shift device connected to a pressure source with a plurality of pressure adjusting devices, each pressure adjusting device of the plurality of pressure adjusting devices fluidly coupled to a respective shift element of the plurality of shift elements,
• wherein the shiftable stop valve is formed and arranged such that the hydraulic actuators of at least two shift elements of the plurality of shift elements are hydraulically connectable to the respective pressure adjusting devices of the plurality of pressure adjusting devices through the shiftable stop valve,
• wherein, in a first shifting position of the shiftable stop valve, all actuating pressure chambers of the at least two shift elements are sealed by the shiftable stop valve, and, in a second shifting position of the shiftable stop valve, all actuating pressure chambers of the at least two shift elements are connected through the shiftable stop valve to the respective pressure adjusting devices of the plurality of pressure adjusting devices.
