    摘要: The present invention concerns a method and a device for monitoring a multi-die power module (15) comprising dies that are in a half-bridge switch configuration.
    The invention:
    - sets the dies in a non conductive state,
    - selects one die which is blocking a voltage,
    - injects a current in a gate of the selected die in order to charge an input parasitic capacitance of the selected die,
    - monitors a voltage that is representative of a voltage on the gate of the selected die,
    - memorizes the value of the monitored voltage when the value of the monitored voltage is stabilized.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a method and device for monitoring the connections of semiconductors of a power module, the semiconductors being connected in parallel and providing voltage and current to a load according to a pulse width modulation. The invention:
    - determines if the duration of the conducting state of the semiconductors in a first cycle of the pulse width modulation is upper than a predetermined duration,
    - measures, during the conducting state of the semiconductors at a second cycle, the voltage provided to the load,
    - sequentially disables the conduction of each semiconductor during a part of the duration of the conducting state of the semiconductors in a third cycle and measures the voltage provided to the load,
    - determines the differences between the voltage measured during the second cycle and each voltage measured during the third cycle,
    - orders the differences according to their value,
    - checks if the determined order is identical to an order stored in a memory of the device and determines that one connection of one semiconductor is deteriorated if the order is changed.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a method for controlling the temperature of a multi-die power module, the method comprising the steps of:
    - determining a first weighted arithmetic mean of junction temperatures of the dies of the multi-die power module and memorizing the weighted arithmetic mean,
    - determining successively another weighted arithmetic mean of junction temperatures of the dies,
    - checking if the difference between the other weighted arithmetic mean and the memorized weighted arithmetic mean is lower than a first predetermined value,
    - enabling a modification of the duty cycle of an input signal to apply to at least one selected die of the multi-die power module if the difference between the other weighted arithmetic mean and the memorized weighted arithmetic mean is lower than a first predetermined value,
    - disabling a modification of the duty cycle of the input signal to apply to the at least one die of the multi-die power module if the difference between the other weighted arithmetic mean and the memorized weighted arithmetic mean is not lower than the first predetermined value.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a method for determining the junction temperature of at least one die of a semiconductor power module, the semiconductor power module being composed of plural dies connected in parallel and switching between conducting and non conductor states according to pattern cycles. The method comprises the steps of:
    - disabling the conducting of the at least one die during at least a fraction of one switching cycle,
    - applying a current limited voltage to the gate of the at least one die during a period of time of the cycle wherein the at least one die is not conducting, the resulting voltage excursion having a value that does not enable the die to be conducting,
    - measuring the voltage at the gate of the die,
    - deriving from the measured voltage a temperature variation of the junction of the at least one die or the temperature of the junction of the die.
