Abstract:
1. A power semiconductor device comprising, in a modularized manner: an inverter including first and second switching parts that operate in a complementary manner, said first and second switching parts being interposed in series with each other between a first power supply line that supplies a first voltage and a second power supply line that supplies a second voltage; and first and second control circuits for controlling switching operations of said first and second switching parts, respectively, wherein said first switching part includes a first IGBT and a first MOSFET, one main electrode of each of said first IGBT and said first MOSFET being connected to said first power supply line and the other main electrode of each of said first IGBT and said first MOSFET being connected to an output node of said inverter, said second switching part includes a second IGBT and a second MOSFET, one main electrode of each of said second IGBT and said second MOSFET being connected to said second power supply line and the other main electrode of each of said second IGBT and said second MOSFET being connected to said output node of said inverter, in a plane layout of said power semiconductor device: in said first IGBT and said first MOSFET, a transistor arranged near said first control circuit gives, through a gate thereof, a gate control signal supplied from said first control circuit to a gate of a transistor arranged at the position farther from said first control circuit, in said second IGBT and said second MOSFET, a transistor arranged near said second control circuit gives, through a gate thereof, a gate control signal supplied from said second control circuit to a gate of a transistor arranged at the position farther from said second control circuit.
