HIGH VOLTAGE POWER MODULE
First Claim
1. A power module comprising:
- a first sub-module comprising a first power semiconductor die;
a second sub-module comprising a second power semiconductor die; and
a removable jumper coupled between at least one contact of the first power semiconductor die and at least one contact of the second power semiconductor die.

Abstract
A power module includes a number of sub-modules connected via removable jumpers. The removable jumpers allow the connections between one or more power semiconductor die in the sub-modules to be reconfigured, such that when the removable jumpers are provided, the power module has a first function, and when the removable jumpers are removed, the power module has a second function. The removable jumpers may also allow for independent testing of the sub-modules. The power module may also include a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB), which is used to connect one or more contacts of the power semiconductor die. The multi-layer PCB reduces stray inductance between the contacts and therefore improves the performance of the power module.
