A clocked electronic energy converter may include an electronic switching element, at least two electrical energy storage devices, connections for connecting an electrical energy source and for connecting an electrical energy sink, a clock generator for controlling the electronic switching element and a switch-on time unit for generating a first signal for the clock generator, which switch-on time unit sets the power of the energy converter to be transmitted in a first power range by the first signal. The switch-on time unit generates a first signal representing a switch-on time for the clock generator in a second power range in which the power lower can be set than in the first power range, and the clocked electronic energy converter has a switch-off time unit generating in the second power range a second signal for the clock generator, which signal represents a switch-off time depending upon the power to be transmitted.
