Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of power electronics and electrical engineering, and in particular to a method for predicting the junction temperature of a SiC MOSFET. Background Technology

[0002] In power electronic systems, approximately 31% of failures are caused by power device malfunctions, and about 60% of these power device failures are temperature-related. Although SiC materials possess superior thermal properties, the limitations of traditional packaging heat dissipation and the high thermal conductivity of SiC forces SiC MOSFETs to withstand greater thermal stress during operation. Excessive thermal stress can lead to the detachment of internal bond wires and the cracking of the solder layer within the SiC MOSFET, ultimately causing the entire module to fail. Junction temperature is a key characteristic of the thermal performance of SiC MOSFETs, and its prediction is a prerequisite for SiC MOSFET thermal management, condition monitoring, and lifetime prediction. Therefore, researching accurate methods for estimating SiC MOSFET junction temperature is crucial, and accurate prediction and extraction of junction temperature is a key technical challenge that needs to be overcome in the application of SiC MOSFET devices.

[0003] Junction temperature measurement methods can be broadly categorized into four main types: physical contact methods, optical methods, thermal network methods, and temperature-sensitive electrical parameter methods. While physical contact and optical methods are simple to implement, they both require damaging or altering the packaging structure to create a measurement channel, making them highly invasive. Furthermore, in terms of response speed, physical contact methods are limited by the presence of thermal capacitance in the contact layer, optical methods require corresponding optical processing, and thermal network methods require complex model calculations, all of which are subject to significant limitations. In contrast, the temperature-sensitive electrical parameter method utilizes the device itself as a temperature sensor, establishing a relationship between internal electrical parameters and the chip junction temperature. This method obtains the junction temperature by measuring the electrical parameters, without altering the module packaging structure and boasts a fast response time. It offers advantages such as simple principle, rapid response, online measurement, and non-destructive device packaging, making it considered the most promising junction temperature measurement method.

[0004] Using temperature-sensitive electrical parameters to predict the junction temperature of SiC MOSFETs has several drawbacks, including the small values ​​of some electrical parameters, low temperature sensitivity, and susceptibility to parasitic circuit parameters, leading to errors in junction temperature estimation. Therefore, selecting appropriate temperature-sensitive electrical parameters for accurate junction temperature detection is crucial for SiC MOSFETs.

[0005] This patent addresses the problems of current junction temperature prediction methods based on turn-off losses, such as the difficulty in achieving online detection and low model accuracy. It establishes a SiC MOSFET turn-off loss model that considers nonlinear parasitic parameters and proposes a junction temperature prediction method based on SiC MOSFET turn-off losses. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a method that combines a turn-off loss model with a junction temperature prediction model based on turn-off loss, effectively solving the problems of difficulty in achieving online detection and low model accuracy in current junction temperature prediction methods based on turn-off loss.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0011] Step S3: Perform numerical solution. Input the initial values ​​of each state variable into the calculation tool, and then complete the solution within the solution cycle to obtain the values ​​of each state variable. Update the parameters in the state equation based on these calculated values. Repeat this process until the relevant boundary conditions are met, and then proceed to the next state equation. The data from each calculation is saved, and the turn-off loss can be obtained through numerical calculation.

[0012] Step S4: Simulate different operating conditions of the power device by adjusting the initial values ​​of the state variables in step S3, substitute the SiC MOSFET turn-off loss calculation results into the junction temperature prediction model based on SiC MOSFET turn-off loss established in step S2, and calculate the junction temperature value according to the mapping relationship between turn-off loss, junction temperature and operating conditions.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S1, an equivalent circuit model of SiC MOSFET considering parasitic parameters is established, and the state equations for each stage of the turn-off transient process are obtained by analyzing and modeling the turn-off process: state equation group A1 for the turn-off delay stage, state equation group A2 for the voltage rise stage, state equation group A3 for the current fall stage, and state equation group A4 for the turn-off oscillation stage.

[0014] The state equation set A1 for the turn-off delay stage is as follows:

[0022] Among them, v GS This refers to the gate-source voltage of the SiC MOSFET, v. DS i is the drain-source voltage. D V is the drain current. DRV To drive positive pressure, V DC As an ideal voltage source equivalent to the DC bus, V TH For the threshold voltage, g fs For transconductance; I L As an ideal current source equivalent to the load inductance, C J The equivalent junction capacitance of SiC SBD; C ISS C OSS C RSS These are the input capacitance, output capacitance, and transfer capacitance of the SiC MOSFET, respectively; R G L is the gate drive resistor of the SiC MOSFET.

Further, the process of establishing the junction temperature prediction model based on the turn-off loss of the SiC MOSFET in step S2 is as follows:

[0029] T j =αE off +βI L +δ

[0030] Where α, β, and δ are constant values ​​obtained from the fitting, and E off To shut down losses, I L This represents the inductor current value.

[0031] Furthermore, in step S3, based on the state equations for each stage of the shutdown process, the initial values ​​of each state variable are input into the calculation tool, and the time step is set:

[0032] Step S31: First, calculate sub-period 1, solve the state equation system A1 for the turn-off delay stage, and after a single time step, determine whether the boundary condition v is satisfied. GS <V p , where v GS V is the gate-source voltage. p The Miller plateau voltage is defined as the duration of this stage as t1-t0. If the boundary condition is met, the drain-source voltage, gate-source voltage, drain current, and duration parameters calculated for this time period are stored, and sub-cycle 2 is calculated. If the condition is not met, a single time step is run again.

[0033] Step S32: After satisfying the boundary conditions of sub-period 1, begin calculating sub-period 2, solve the state equation system A2 for the voltage rise stage, and define the duration of this stage as t2-t1, while satisfying the boundary condition v D <-V F Then store the solution data for this stage and begin calculating sub-cycle 3;

Define the duration of this stage as t3-t2, and satisfy the boundary condition v. GS <V TH Then store the solution data for this stage and begin calculating sub-cycle 4;

[0035] Step S34: After satisfying the boundary conditions of sub-period 3, start calculating sub-period 4, solve the state equation set A4 for the turn-off oscillation stage, define the duration of sub-period 4 as t4-t3, and store the solution data for this stage after running a single time step.

[0036] Step S35: The data from each calculation is saved, and the turn-off loss can be obtained through numerical calculation. The formula for calculating the turn-off loss using the integral method is:

[0037]

[0038] Furthermore, step S4 simulates different operating conditions of the power device by adjusting the initial value of the state variable in step S3, and obtains the data and turn-off loss of each stage through calculation tools.

[0040] Furthermore, the state variables mentioned in step S3 include drain-source voltage, drain current, and duration.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention, employing the above technical solution, has the following technical effects:
