Abstract:
This paper discusses two problems and possible solutions for measuring the junction temperature of semiconductor switches using the internal gate resistor as temperature sensitive electric parameter. On the one hand, the dependency of the gate impedance on the blocking voltage and the negative gate voltage is analyzed, which can influence the temperature measurement. On the other hand, neighboring switching phases in converter operation can cause faulty temperature measurement values due to EMI coupling in the measuring circuit. An elimination method for both effects is presented.
