Abstract: This disclosure is directed to circuits and techniques for detecting or responding to temperature of a power switch based on paired measurements of current and voltage. A driver circuit for a power switch may be configured to perform a current measurement and a voltage measurement associated with a temperature-dependent circuit element and control the power switch based at least in part on the current measurement and the voltage measurement. In some examples, the current and voltage measurements may be used to determine the temperature of the power switch.

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.

The housing includes: at least one protrusion attached to sidewalls and arranged on an outside of the housing at a lower end with at least one first through hole provided in the protrusion; holding devices each arranged inside a first through hole and/or between the PCB and the first through hole; and fastening elements configured to attach the housing to a heat sink or base plate. Each holding device is configured to clamp a corresponding fastening element such that the fastening elements are secured in defined positions, and to align each fastening element with a different first through hole. The PCB includes second through holes each arranged vertically above and aligned with a different fastening element. A diameter of each second through hole is less than the largest diameter of the respective fastening element.
