Abstract
In a semiconductor module, an upper arm switching element is integrated to a high-potential conductor coupled to a high-potential electrode of a power source, and a lower arm switching element is integrated to a load conductor coupled to a load. A first connecting conductor has a first end connected to the upper arm switching element and a second end connected to the load conductor. A second connecting conductor has a first end connected to the lower arm switching element and a second end connected to a low-potential conductor coupled to a low-potential electrode of the power source. At least one of the first connecting conductor and the second connecting conductor serves as a shunt resistor for detecting an electric current flowing in the at least one.
