| Abstract |
Electrothermal models of power semiconductor
components are often too complex and requiring a long
simulation time. Besides, there can be a situation that
electrical and thermal behaviour of the circuit are not
analyzed within the same department of a company. This
necessitates an appropriate procedure of electrothermal
simulation, sufficiently quick, accurate and simple, allowing
an efficient exchange of data of electrical and thermal parts
of the system. Presented in this article is a simple calculation
procedure for the time course of silicon equivalent
temperature in power semiconductor components, based on
the previously calculated current loading. This hybrid
procedure allows the exchange and use of simulation results
in case of separated procedures of current and thermal
dimensioning of power semiconductor components. |
