Abstract
A power semiconductor module includes a normally on, controllable first power semiconductor switch including at least one first power semiconductor chip, and a normally off, controllable second power semiconductor switch including at least one second power semiconductor chip. The load paths of the first power semiconductor switch and of the second power semiconductor switch are connected in series. The control terminals of all first power semiconductor chips are permanently electrically conductively connected to a conductor track to which no load terminal of any of the first power semiconductor chips is permanently electrically conductively connected, and to which no load terminal and no control terminal of any of the second power semiconductor chips are permanently electrically conductively connected.
