Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0199266A1] A half-bridge subassembly used to switch electric power, wherein at least two semiconductor switches are series connected, forming a half-bridge.Each semiconductor switch has a control input; the first semiconductor switch has a first power connection which can be connected to a high voltage potential; the second semiconductor swtich has a second power connection which can be connected to a low voltage potential; a second power connection of the first semiconductor switch is connected to a first power connection of the respectively second semiconductor switch; each semiconductor switch has a free-wheeling diode which is disposed in a parallel position with respect to the two power connections of the respective semiconductor switch; a Schottky diode is mounted parallel to each free-wheeling diode. The free-wheeling diode of each semiconductor switch and each Schottky diode are connected in a heat conducting manner to a heat sink, the dimensions of the thermal resistance between each Schottky diode and the heat sink being larger than the dimensions of the thermal resistance between each free-wheeling diode and the heat sink.
