    Abstract: A semiconductor module includes a printed circuit board, and first and second embedded semiconductor chips. The first and second semiconductor chips each have a first load connection and a second load connection. The printed circuit board further includes a structured first metalization layer, which has a first section and a second section, and a structured second metalization layer, which has a first section, a second section and a third section. The first section of the second metalization layer and the second section of the first metalization layer have comb shaped structures having first and second protrusions. These first and second sections are electrically conductively connected to one another by a number of first plated-through holes each of which is permanently electrically conductively connected both at first protrusions to the first section of the second metalization layer and at second protrusions to the second section of the first metalization layer.

    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to circuits and techniques for detecting or responding to temperature of a power switch. A driver circuit for the power switch may be configured to deliver a modulation signal to a control node of the power switch to control on/off switching of the power switch, wherein the driver circuit is further configured to modulate an output impedance of the driver circuit at the control node, perform one or more voltage measurements while modulating the output impedance of the driver circuit, and control the power switch based at least in part on the one or more voltage measurements.

    Abstract: A method for driving a controllable power semiconductor switch, having a first input terminal and first and second output terminals coupled to a voltage supply and a load, the first and second output terminals providing an output of the power semiconductor switch, includes adjusting a gradient of switch-off edges of an output current and an output voltage of the power semiconductor switch by a voltage source arrangement coupled to the input terminal. A gradient of switch-on edges of an output current and an output voltage is adjusted by a controllable current source arrangement that is coupled to the input terminal and generates a gate drive current. The profile of the gate drive current from one switching operation to a subsequent switching operation, beginning at a rise in the output current and ending at a decrease in the output voltage, is varied at most within a predefined tolerance band.
