Abstract: The disclosure discloses a driver circuit that is intended for a power semiconductor switch having a unidirectional flow direction and having a control connection, a reference potential connection and a controlled connection. The driver circuit includes a driver module having a control output, a reference potential input and an overvoltage monitoring input. In this case, the control output is connected to a first connection that is provided for connection to the control connection, the reference potential input is connected to a second connection that is provided for connection to the reference potential connection, and the overvoltage monitoring input is connected, via a first diode, to a third connection that is provided for connection to the controlled connection. The overvoltage monitoring input is also connected to the reference potential input via a capacitance.

Abstract: An inductor assembly is disclosed that includes a magnetic core with a center leg and a number n of phase legs, wherein n is an integer and n>1. Each phase leg is magnetically connected to the center leg by an upper bridge and a lower bridge to form a magnetic main loop, a midpoint of the phase leg being magnetically connected to a center point of the center leg by a shunt element including a gap. Each phase leg further includes an upper inductor coil disposed on an upper phase leg section located between the midpoint and the upper bridge and a lower inductor coil disposed on a lower phase leg section located between the midpoint and the lower bridge. Alternatively, the upper and lower inductor coils are disposed on respective upper and lower bridges.
