Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor device forming a bidirectional switch, the semiconductor device comprising:
a carrier;
a semiconductor element arranged on the carrier;
a first row of terminals arranged along a first side face of the carrier;
a second row of terminals arranged along a second side face of the carrier opposite the first side face; and
an encapsulation body encapsulating the semiconductor element,
wherein the semiconductor element comprises a first transistor structure and a second transistor structure, the first transistor structure and a second transistor structure each comprising a gate electrode, and a first power electrode,
wherein the first row of terminals comprises a first gate terminal coupled with the gate electrode of the first transistor structure, a first sensing terminal independently connected with the first power electrode of the first transistor structure, and a first power terminal of the bidirectional switch coupled with the first power electrode of the first transistor structure,
wherein the second row of terminals comprises a second gate terminal coupled with the gate electrode of the second transistor structure, a second sensing terminal independently connected with the first power electrode of the second transistor structure, and a second power terminal of the bidirectional switch coupled with the first power electrode of the second transistor structure.
