Abstract
A power module includes a power circuit which includes one or more power semiconductors; and a control circuit which supplies a gate signal to each of the one or more power semiconductors. The control circuit includes one or more gate drivers which generate the gate signal in accordance with a control signal and in which a side to which the control signal is input and a side on which the gate signal is generated are insulated, a control input circuit to which the control signal is input and which supplies the control signal to the one or more gate drivers, and a control output circuit which supplies the gate signal to each of the power semiconductors.
