Semiconductor module arrangement

In a switching module structure that includes a low-impedance path to ground, such as a parasitic capacitance of an insulating substrate, a further insulating substrate presenting a parasitic capacitance placed in series with the low impedance current path and a connection of a conductive layer to input voltage rails using a single decoupling capacitor or, preferably, a midpoint of the voltage rails formed by a series connection of decoupling capacitors maintains a large portion of common mode (CM) currents which are due to high dV/dt slew rates of SiC and GaN transistors within the switching module.
