Description

Power module aging parameter quasi-online identification method and junction temperature calibration method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of power semiconductor device testing, in particular to a power module aging parameter quasi-online identification method and a junction temperature calibration method and system.
Background
Junction temperature is an important parameter characterizing the operating and health conditions of power semiconductor devices. The chip in the power semiconductor device is packaged in the module and works in a high-voltage and high-current environment, so that the junction temperature of the chip cannot be directly measured. Therefore, it is very difficult to monitor the junction temperature of the power semiconductor device in an operating state on line, and it is also a hot spot of current research.
The traditional method for detecting the junction temperature of the power semiconductor chip is mainly based on the research of SiIG BT, and comprises four major methods of a physical contact method, an optical measurement method, a model prediction method and a thermal inductance parameter method (TSEPs). At present, a thermosensitive electro-parameter method (TSEPs) is mostly applied, and the core idea of the method is to use a device to be measured as a temperature sensing component and establish a mapping model of temperature and external electrical variables. The large-current conduction voltage drop method is quick in response, high in resolution, low in intrusiveness to hardware and software of the original inverter, and is the most potential junction temperature real-time online monitoring technology at present.
The implementation process of the conduction voltage drop method under large current is as follows: obtaining different working currents I by laboratory calibration c Lower junction temperature T J Conduction voltage drop V CE Fitting a junction temperature expression T by a three-dimensional data network J =f(I C ,V CE ). Under the condition of on-line work, the on-state current and the on-state voltage drop obtained by on-line test are brought into T by measuring the on-state current and the on-state voltage drop of the power semiconductor chip in real time J =f(I C :V CE ) And the on-line calculation of the junction temperature is realized.
However, most of the thermal sensitive electrical parameters are affected by the aging characteristics of the power module, which is a general challenge to the online monitoring of junction temperature by applying the thermal sensitive electrical parameter method. The effect of aging on the conduction voltage drop is mainly reflected in the conduction voltage drop V caused by the breakage and the falling of the bonding wire CE And (4) increasing. In order to ensure the accuracy of junction temperature online monitoring results in the whole life cycle of the power module, the aging parameters need to be monitored and decoupled during the long-term operation of the power module. However, the current research on the aging parameters is still in a starting stage in a laboratory, the main aging parameter identification methods are all measurement methods in the laboratory, and an effective identification method is lacked under the condition of module installation.

And then, applying forced turn-off signals to all main power switch tubes in the converter in a quasi-online working state until all currents in all load inductors in the converter are zero. Because the forced turn-off signals are applied to all the main power switch tubes in the converter, the power switch tube units enter a rapid follow current mode, so that the current in the load inductor electrically connected with the main power switch tube to be tested is rapidly recovered to zero, at the moment, the branch circuit where the load inductor electrically connected with the main power switch tube to be tested is disconnected and cannot continue damping oscillation return to zero, and the time for applying the forced turn-off signals to all the main power switch tubes in the converter in a quasi-online working state is less. And then, injecting a second test current into the main power switch tube to be tested in the converter under the quasi-online working state and obtaining a second test conduction voltage drop of the main power switch tube to be tested, wherein the second test current is equal to a second constant calibration current, and a second test junction temperature is obtained, the second test junction temperature is a second calibration junction temperature value corresponding to the second test conduction voltage drop data in a second function relation, and the data of the second test junction temperature obtained by the small current injection method after the emergency stop control is more accurate, namely, the small current method is used for calibrating the online junction temperature monitoring data to obtain a junction temperature true value of the main power switch tube to be tested under the aging state. And when the absolute value of the difference between the first test junction temperature and the second test junction temperature is greater than the threshold, obtaining the equivalent resistance change parameter of the bonding wire at the characteristic temperature according to the second test junction temperature, the first test current and the first test conduction voltage drop, so that the accuracy of the equivalent resistance change parameter of the bonding wire at the characteristic temperature is higher. The second test junction temperature is obtained through testing in a quasi-online state, so that a main power switch tube to be tested does not need to be taken out in the process of using the converter, and the data of the second test junction temperature are obtained through a small current injection method after sudden stop control, so that the test difficulty is low.
According to the junction temperature calibration method provided by the technical scheme of the invention, the first functional relation is calibrated into a first correction functional relation according to the equivalent resistance change parameter. Because the first correction function relation considers the equivalent resistance change parameter of the bonding wire at the characteristic temperature, the first correction function relation can test the junction temperature of the main power switching tube to be tested in an online state with higher precision.

Because the fixed environment temperature and the fixed current source can be realized under the laboratory condition according to the requirements, the test difficulty under the online condition is higher, and the method has no application value under the service condition of equipment.
