Technical Field

Its wide range of application backgrounds covers many fields such as industry, renewable energy, power transmission and electric transportation, which has promoted the continuous innovation and development of power electronic technology. Online monitoring of junction temperature can provide necessary data support for power electronic systems, realize IGBT health status assessment, early warning of potential failures, and reduce sudden downtime. It can not only improve the safety and reliability of equipment, but also help to extend its service life and improve operating efficiency. Traditionally, the junction temperature is estimated by using an electrothermal model combined with analytical calculations from a data sheet.
[0003] However, these techniques are often prone to errors and have difficulty in reliably measuring junction temperature during converter operation. Physical measurement methods such as infrared cameras or optical fibers are extremely limited and difficult to directly measure chip junction temperature. Therefore, electrical methods are considered to be beneficial for real-time measurement of power electronic device junction temperature. Using Temperature Sensitive Electrical Parameters (TSEP), such as on-state voltage drop or threshold voltage, online monitoring of junction temperature can be achieved on standard power modules without modifying their structure. However, electrical temperature measurement in power electronic converters using TSEP has not been well developed. Issues worth noting about the use of TSEP include the need to compensate for operating conditions other than temperature (such as load current), and the need for complex measurement circuits.

The digital isolator is also connected to the processor. The digital isolator is used to send the acquisition instruction generated by the processor to the ADC, and send the acquisition voltage sent by the ADC to the processor. The processor is also connected to the output end of the drive input signal. The processor is used to generate an acquisition instruction, send the acquisition instruction to the digital isolator, receive the acquisition voltage returned by the digital isolator, and collect the frequency of the drive input signal, and select the junction temperature calibration formula according to the collected frequency. According to the acquisition voltage and the selected junction temperature calibration formula, the junction temperature of the IGBT to be tested is calculated.
[0029] Here, the digital isolator may specifically be a digital isolation chip. By using the digital isolator for isolated communication between the processor and the ADC, it is possible to use the same processor to measure multiple IGBTs, thereby avoiding the situation where multiple processors are used to measure multiple IGBTs one by one, thereby reducing the circuit area.
