Abstract
An apparatus includes a plurality of semiconductor switches. A first bus interconnects first terminals of the semiconductor switches in a first chain and provides a first impedance between the first terminals of switches of the first chain. A second bus interconnects second terminals of the semiconductor switches in a second chain and provides a second impedance greater that the first impedance between the second terminals of the switches of the second chain. The apparatus may be implemented as a laminated bus assembly including respective overlapping conductor plates, wherein the second bus includes a plate having subregions defined by features, such as slots or grooves, that provide the second impedance.
