A circuit arrangement for an electronic device having at least two semiconductor elements of the same type connected in parallel with each other. At least one first semiconductor element has a first characteristic and at least one second semiconductor element has a second characteristic. Each of the two characteristics is defined by at least one power loss. The at least one power loss of the at least one first semiconductor element has a first value, and the at least one power loss of the at least one second semiconductor element has a second value. The two values of the at least one power loss are different.
