Gate–Emitter Pre-threshold Voltage as a Health-Sensitive Parameter for IGBT Chip Failure Monitoring in High-Voltage Multichip IGBT Power Modules
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics(2019)
摘要
This paper proposes a novel health-sensitive parameter, called the gate–emitter pre-threshold voltage
V
GE(pre-th)
, for detecting IGBT chip failures in multichip IGBT power modules. The proposed method has been applied in an IGBT gate driver and measures the
V
GE
at a fixed time instant of the

transient before the threshold voltage occurs. To validate the proposed method, theoretical analysis and practical results for a 16-chip IGBT power module are presented in the paper. The results show a 500 mV average shift in the measured
V
GE(pre-th)
for each IGBT chip failure.
