The on-resistance of MOSFETs directly affects performance indicators such as the power loss, efficiency, and thermal management of devices. Therefore, optimizing the on-resistance of MOSFETs is an important issue in the application of MOSFETs.

[0003] In the prior art, the optimization of the on-resistance of MOSFETs mainly includes the optimization of the design structure and the optimization of the working environment. In terms of the optimization of the working environment, increasing the gate voltage of the MOSFET and reducing the working temperature of the MOSFET can both optimize the on-resistance of the MOSFET. However, increasing the gate voltage of the MOOSFET will, to a certain extent, cause an increase in its own working temperature, thereby reversely reducing the optimization effect of the on-resistance brought about by increasing the gate voltage. At the same time, it will also cause loss of the device life of the MOSFET, and increasing the cooling performance of the cooling control system will bring greater cooling energy consumption.

[0019] S3: Perform adjustment processing on the gate voltage and cooling system of the target MOSFET according to the gate voltage adjustment characteristics and the cooling system adjustment characteristics to optimize the on-resistance of the target MOSFET.

[0020] Specifically, in step S1 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, install sensors and data acquisition devices (such as current sensors, voltage sensors, temperature sensors, etc.) in the circuit to ensure that all sensors and data acquisition devices are calibrated to accurately reflect the actual working conditions, continuously monitor and record the working parameters of the MOSFET, such as drain current, drain voltage, gate voltage, junction temperature, etc., and store the collected data regularly or continuously to ensure the integrity and continuity of the data.

[0021] More specifically, analyze the data collected over a long period of time, identify the trends and patterns of parameter changes, evaluate the thermal performance of the MOSFET under different working conditions, identify overheating risks, evaluate the impact of current and voltage stresses on the performance of the MOSFET, identify overcurrent and overvoltage risks, predict possible fault points and times based on historical data and trend analysis, determine the safe operating area of the MOSFET according to the analysis results, including the safe ranges of temperature, current, and voltage, extract key characteristic parameters reflecting the performance and safety of the MOSFET, such as the maximum allowable junction temperature, maximum current density, etc., comprehensively evaluate all analysis results to form a characteristic set describing the performance and safety of the MOSFET, and verify the accuracy and reliability of the performance and safety characteristics through experiments to ensure their effectiveness for the actual working conditions.

[0022] It can be understood that through continuous monitoring and analysis, potential failures of the MOSFET can be detected and prevented in a timely manner, the reliability of the system can be improved, the performance and safety characteristics obtained through analysis can guide circuit design and MOSFET selection, optimize the overall circuit performance, reduce power consumption, and improve the energy efficiency of the system by optimizing working parameters and conditions.

[0023] Specifically, in step S2 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, the performance safety characteristics of the MOSFET are obtained from the previous analysis, including the maximum allowable junction temperature, the optimal operating voltage range, etc., the current gate voltage setting and the operating state of the cooling system are evaluated, and the reference data is recorded.

[0024] More specifically, according to the performance safety characteristics, a safe gate voltage range is set, the gate voltage is adjusted with different step values within the set range, the performance parameters of the MOSFET at each voltage (such as drain current, power consumption, temperature, etc.) are tested, the performance data at each voltage point is recorded, the influence of different voltages on the performance of the MOSFET is analyzed, the optimal gate voltage is found, and a gate voltage adjustment strategy is formulated to ensure that the gate voltage can be in the best state under different working conditions.

[0025] More specifically, the cooling efficiency of the current cooling system and the thermal response of the MOSFET are analyzed, the change of the junction temperature of the MOSFET under different cooling intensities is tested, the cooling effect is recorded, and according to the test results, the parameters of the cooling system (such as fan speed, coolant flow rate, etc.) are optimized to ensure that the MOSFET can also be maintained within the safe temperature range under high load, and an intelligent cooling system control strategy based on real-time temperature monitoring is developed to dynamically adjust the cooling intensity to adapt to the load change.

[0026] More specifically, after adjusting the gate voltage and the cooling system, a system-level joint test is carried out to verify the synergistic effect of the two. Through a series of tests, it is verified whether the adjusted system meets the requirements of the performance safety characteristics, ensuring the stability and safety of the MOSFET under different working conditions. According to the test feedback, the parameters of the gate voltage and the cooling system are further fine-tuned to reach the best state.

[0027] It can be understood that by precisely adjusting the gate voltage, the switching efficiency of the MOSFET can be maximally improved, the power consumption can be reduced, the overall circuit performance can be enhanced, the optimized cooling system can more effectively control the temperature, prevent overheating, ensure the stability of the MOSFET under high-efficiency working conditions, keep the gate voltage within the optimal range, and avoid device losses and failures caused by voltage fluctuations.

[0028] It should be noted that both the increase of the gate voltage and the decrease of the working environment temperature can optimize the on-resistance of the MOSFET, but the increase of the gate voltage will cause the rise of the working environment temperature of the MOSFET, which in turn causes the deterioration of the on-resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to find the most balanced node, apply the increase of the gate voltage and the control of the cooling system to the MOSFET, so as to realize the optimization of the on-resistance of the MOSFET and the energy consumption control of the cooling system.

[0030] More specifically, test the cooling effect of the current cooling system, record the operating temperature of the MOSFET, test the temperature and on-resistance of the MOSFET under different cooling intensities by adjusting parameters such as the cooling fan speed and the coolant flow rate, analyze the relationship between the cooling effect and the on-resistance, determine the optimal cooling intensity to minimize the on-resistance, design and implement a dynamic cooling control strategy based on real-time temperature monitoring to ensure the best cooling effect under different load conditions.

[0031] More specifically, after adjusting the optimal gate voltage and the cooling system, conduct a joint test to ensure that the synergistic effect of the two reaches the best effect. Through a series of tests, verify the on-resistance, temperature and stability of the adjusted system under actual working conditions. According to the test results and the actual usage, further fine-tune the gate voltage and the cooling system to ensure the stability and reliability of the optimization effect.

[0032] It can be understood that by precisely adjusting the gate voltage, the on-resistance of the MOSFET is minimized, thereby improving the current transmission efficiency. Through effective cooling measures, the operating temperature of the MOSFET is controlled within the optimal range, further reducing the on-resistance. The optimized on-resistance reduces the power consumption and improves the energy efficiency of the overall system. The reduction of the on-resistance improves the switching performance of the MOSFET and significantly improves the overall system performance. The adjustment based on actual data is more accurate than the traditional empirical adjustment, ensuring the stability and sustainability of the optimization effect.
