Abstract
A system and method for receiving, at a multi-chip power module, multiple electronic control signals by one or more semiconductor devices of a first device type configured in parallel to one or more semiconductor devices of a second device type. The one or more semiconductor devices of the first device type and the one or more semiconductor devices of the second device type form a plurality of functional switches. The functional switches independently change states, in response to the plurality of electronic control signals. The one or more semiconductor devices of the first device type are configured to be electrically controlled for use independently and de-coupled, or in parallel, with the one or more semiconductor devices of the second device type.
