A clamping circuit includes a clamping element with a control terminal and a load path that is coupled between a first circuit node and a second circuit node. A control circuit is coupled between the first circuit node and the second circuit node and is also coupled to the control terminal of the clamping element. The control circuit includes at least one snap-back unit with two load terminals and is only coupled between the first circuit node and the control terminal of the clamping element. The snap-back unit has an electrical resistance between the two load terminals and is configured to reduce the electrical resistance when a voltage between the two load terminals reaches a given threshold value.
