Comparison of TSEP Performances Operating at Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Temperature Distribution in Multichip IGBT Power Modules

Temperature sensitive electrical parameters (TSEPs) are used to determine the chip temperature of a single-chip insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) power module by measuring one electrical device parameter. Commonly, most TSEPs have a linear relationship between the chip temperature and the electrical parameter. Like any sensor, preferred attributes of TSEPs include good accuracy, linearity,...
