Abstract
A power semiconductor assembly includes at least two bridge branches each including at least two circuit breakers connected to a phase output. Each of the circuit breakers has at least two parallel-connected switching elements integrated into a semiconductor chip. Each of the circuit breakers is arranged in a power semiconductor module and the individual power semiconductor modules are arranged adjacent to one another in a first direction. The semiconductor chips of a particular circuit breaker are arranged adjacent to one another in the corresponding power semiconductor module in a second direction extending perpendicular to the first direction.
