Level-increasing switching arrangement with a charge pump

An electric switching arrangement with a charge pump which has at last two connection contacts, of which a first connection contact is connected to a first voltage potential and a second connection contact is connected via a series circuit, which has at least one first capacitor, a second capacitor and a first diode arranged between the at least one first capacitor and the second capacitor, to a second voltage potential which is higher than the first voltage potential and which is also connected, via a switching element, to the at least one first capacitor, wherein the charge pump has a third connection contact, which is connected to an output of a first comparator, which has a first and second comparator input, of which a first comparator input is connected to an anode potential of a second diode at which the second voltage potential is applied and which is connected in series to the first diode and parallel to the second capacitor, and of which a second comparator input is connected to a cathode potential of a third diode at an allocated anode of which the second voltage potential is applied.
