Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power semiconductor unit and an electronic power switch driver module therefor. Background technique [0002] In power electronics, electronic switches are used to make and break electrical connections in circuit arrangements such as half-bridges, anti-parallel or series switches, or simply to connect loads to power sources, e.g. The megahertz frequency range is switched periodically. Electronic switches for power semiconductor units include IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors), FETs (Field Effect Transistors), MOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) and can be arranged in devices such as half-bridge, three-level, matrix and Various known semiconductor switches in topologies such as other such semiconductor switch structures. [0003] For many power semiconductor units it is advantageous to have very fast switching in order to reduce the transition time between on and off states where losses can o...
