Abstract:
1. A power semiconductor module, comprising: a common base substrate; electronic components disposed on said base substrate; a connecting device connecting said electronic components in pairs; an electrically conductive substrate in the form of surface regions disposed on said base substrate; a first conduction device feeding in an input signal; a second conduction device feeding in a control signal; a third conduction device carrying away an output signal; said conduction devices and said connecting device being configured at least one of at least partly and jointly as a bus structure on said base substrate, said bus structure being configured at least partly as part of said surface regions, at least some of said electronic components being configured as a parallel circuit formed by an electronic switch and a diode device, said electronic switch of some of said electronic components being one of the group consisting of a transistor, a triac, a thyristor, and an IGBT, at least some of said electronic switches having: said diode device having an anode region and a cathode region; said first region being respectively contact-connected to said cathode region; said second region being respectively contact-connected to said anode region; the power semiconductor module being an externally controllable, matrix converter for converting a plurality of components of the input signal on said first conduction device into a plurality of components of the output signal on said third conduction device.
