Power semiconductor component with potential probe, the power semiconductor device with a power semiconductor component having a potential probe and method for operating a power semiconductor component with a potential probe

摘要

The present invention relates to a power semiconductor component having a semiconductor body (1) and two load terminals (21, 22). Furthermore, a potential probe (3) is provided, which is designed for this purpose, in the case of a between the two load terminals (21, 22) applied electrical voltage (v1 - v2) to a abgreifort (4) of the semiconductor body (1) an existing electrical selecting (v_z) of the semiconductor body (1) to pick off the between the electrical potentials (v1, v2) of the two load connections (21, 22), which may, however, be of any one of the electrical potentials (v1, v2) of the two load connections (21, 22), a distinction.
