摘要:
Power conversion circuits often consist of several MOSFETs operating in parallel. Due to thermal cycling and mechanical operations, MOSFETs or the respective electric connections of the MOSFETs may fail. According to the present invention, there is provided a diagnosis circuit for a plurality of parallel MOSFETs, which predicts or determines a possible failure on the basis of at least one of temperatures of the MOSFETs or gate voltages of the MOSFETs. Advantageously, a continuous monitoring of the MOSFETs may be provided and an early determination of failures of the MOSFETs can be provided.
