Abstract: A method for simulating a peripheral circuit arrangement that can be connected to a control device is provided. A simulation device is electrically connected to the control device and has a first control element with which a first simulation current that can be passed from a first load terminal of the control device to a first control element output of the first control element can be influenced. The first control element includes a first multistage converter, and the simulation device also includes a first semiconductor switch control and a computing unit that executes model code. A first switch control signal is computed and provided for forwarding to the first semiconductor switch control, which has at least one first comparator. A pulse-width-modulated first gate-source voltage is generated and applied to a first control terminal and a first simulation current is influenced by the first gate-source voltage.
