A system for converting a first electric voltage into a second electric voltage, comprising: at least two input terminals and two output terminals; and switching members disposed between the terminals, which can convert the first voltage into the second voltage. At least one switching member comprises at least two arms connected in parallel and each arm includes an electronic switch that can be controlled such as to occupy either an on-state or an off-state, said switch comprising a control electrode and two conduction electrodes that conduct current in the on-state. The switching member comprises a common control terminal connected to the control electrode of the switch of each arm, as well as a first common conduction terminal and a second common conduction terminal connected respectively to a first conduction electrode and a second conduction electrode of the switch of each of the arms.
