Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power electronics, and in particular relates to an IGBT current rate peak extraction circuit, system and method. Background Art

[0002] As the performance of high-power conversion systems continues to improve, the reliability requirements for core power semiconductor devices, IGBTs, are also increasing. This has led to the development of IGBT condition monitoring technologies. Extracting health-sensitive electrical parameter characteristics during IGBT switching transients is a relatively novel approach that can be used for online analysis of IGBT health status issues, including switching trajectory, operating junction temperature, aging, and EMI. The maximum current rate of change during switching transients has excellent correlation with health status. However, current research is limited to characteristic analysis, and further research is needed on circuits for extracting the peak value of the current rate of change waveform. Due to the small variation range of health-sensitive electrical parameters, the difference in the peak current rate of change between different health states accounts for a very small proportion of the entire waveform, making it difficult for extraction circuits to distinguish within their power supply range. During IGBT switching transients, the current rate of change needs to be extracted for both positive and negative directions, requiring separate extraction. This increases the complexity of the extraction circuitry. Furthermore, the extracted peak values ​​are often transmitted to digital chips via ADCs for identification, increasing circuit cost.
