The invention relates to an electric circuit comprising at least one semiconductor component (38, 39, 40). The semiconductor component has a first area (52) of a first conduction type that is adjacent to a second area (53a) of a second conduction type. A first diode (4, 5, 8) is formed in this way. The first area (52) is also adjacent to a third area (53b) that is also of the second conduction type, with the result that the first and third areas form a second diode (6, 7, 9). When in operation, the circuit is designed such that both the first diode (4, 5, 8) and the second diode (6, 7, 9) only conduct current in a forward direction.
