Abstract:Fast power devices thermal simulation method based on averaging power losses over each cycle of PWM switching frequency is presented in this paper. For implementing a long real time dynamic thermal simulation of power devices, device power losses during transient process and static characteristics are defined as a function of device conduction current and junction temperature, and are represented by a lookup table. By carrying out the circuit electrical simulation, the device conduction current can be obtained… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
