Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a case; a diode element individually arranged in said case; a switching element individually arranged in said case; an anode terminal arranged outside said case and electrically connected to an anode electrode of said diode element; one main electrode terminal arranged outside said case and electrically connected to one main electrode of the switching element; a cathode terminal arranged outside said case and electrically connected to a cathode electrode of said diode element; and an other main electrode terminal arranged outside said case and electrically connected to the other main electrode of said switching element, wherein said anode terminal and said one main electrode terminal are adjacently arranged at a predetermined distance from each other, said cathode terminal and said other main electrode terminal are adjacently arranged at another predetermined distance from each other, and said cathode terminal and said other main electrode terminal are not electrically connected, current flows from said anode terminal to said cathode terminal in a same direction as current flowing from said one electrode to said other main electrode, the semiconductor device further comprising a circuit switchable to a step-up circuit or a step-down circuit or a step-up/step-down circuit based on which of said terminals outside said case are selected.
