Abstract

A power module for operating a vehicle, in particular an electric vehicle and/or a hybrid vehicle, comprising numerous semiconductor components, which form at least one topological switch; an input contact for supplying an input current to the semiconductor components; a control electronics for controlling the semiconductor components, to generate an output current based on the input current; an output contact for outputting the output current; wherein the control electronics is configured to set a gate current for one of the semiconductor components based on one or more status parameters for the semiconductor component.
