    Abstract: A circuit comprising a power semiconductor module (200) having an improved short-circuit failure mode (SCFM) is provided. The power semiconductor module comprises at least two semiconductor devices (211-216) being arranged for transitioning into SCFM in the event of a device failure, a collector terminal for collectively connecting the collectors of the devices, and an emitter terminal for collectively connecting the emitters of the devices. The circuit further comprises means (240) for supplying, in response to one (211) of the semiconductor devices transitioning into SCFM, a high-voltage pulse to the gate of the other semiconductor device (212-216), thereby triggering a transitioning of the other device into SCFM. This is advantageous in that it leads to an improved current distribution within the module since the current is shared by more than one short-circuited device. Further, a method of a power semiconductor module is provided.
