Thermal Modelling of Power Modules

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Power modules and smart power devices require sophisticated thermal modelling to take into account thermal interactions, time dependent response of temperature sensors and electrical-thermal coupling. In spite of the availability of powerful software for FEM calculations, analytical methods are still useful to obtain approximations, and thermal networks allow simple combinations of electrical and thermal behaviour. For calculations of temperatures under very different load conditions, the use of system functions will be the most efficient way.<br/>
