In-Place Characterization of On-State Voltage for SiC MOSFETs: Controlled Shoot-Through vs. Film Heater

The on-state voltage of MOSFETs is a convenient and powerful temperature-sensitive electric parameter (TSEP) to determine the junction temperature, thus enabling device monitoring, protection, diagnostics and prognostics. The main hurdle in the use of the on-state voltage as a TSEP is the per-device...
