Patent ID: 8115294

Claim:
A power semiconductor device comprising: a chip carrier having a first chip carrier part and at least one second chip carrier part, the first chip carrier part and the second chip carrier part being at a distance from one another and being electrically conductive in each case, a first chip comprising a power transistor and arranged on the first chip carrier part such that a control input of the power transistor of the first chip faces toward the first chip carrier part, a second chip comprising a power transistor and arranged on the second chip carrier part such that a control input of the power transistor of the second chip faces away from the second chip carrier part, first and second terminals for a supply voltage between a first potential and a second potential, a third chip comprising an integrated drive circuit, configured to drive the power transistors, disposed on one of the chip carrier parts, and a leadframe of the power semiconductor device, wherein the first terminal is electrically connected to the first chip carrier part and the second terminal is electrically connected to the second chip carrier part, and wherein an electrical connection of the first chip to the first potential is effected via the first chip carrier part, and an electrical connection of the second chip to the second potential is effected via the second chip carrier part, and wherein each of the first chip carrier part and the second chip carrier part is a lead, the leads both being part of the leadframe of the power semiconductor device.
