Power semiconductor module and circuit arrangement comprising at least two power semiconductor switch modules

Abstract

A circuit arrangement and a power semiconductor module are provided in which the circuit arrangement comprises a plurality of parallel-connected power semiconductor modules, of which only one is connected to a control device. The other modules function as slaves of the master connected to the control device and draw the signal required for triggering from the master via a signal bus. For this purpose, the power semiconductor modules have a number of signal connections which are interconnected. The signal connections may be connected signalwise to the gate connections, for example via an interface. The power semiconductor modules according to the invention provide a circuit arrangement in which a plurality of modules can be connected in parallel up to maximum performances without limitations.
