Modern power converter designs need compact IGBT modules with simple interfaces for costefficient power solutions.Low overall height.separate AC and DC terminals on eaeh side,driver access on top are recent market requirements for modern power nmdules.This leads to the birth of SEMiX-a module platform with the right answer to these requirements.Moreover.this paper highlights also a new driver solution for modules-SKYPER-a simple add-on gate driver with basic driving and protection funetions.Its adaptation to modules-in this article through an example with SEMiX-is tested suecessfully.SEMiX and SKYPER behave like an IPM but offer more flexibilitv to control switching characteristics.presenting a convenient building block for modular inverter solutions.
