    Transient thermal behavior of NTC thermister and IGBT Junction Temperature

    In many of Fuji IGBT module, an integrated NTC thermistor is provided mainly to report value to detect
    rough IGBT case temperature in thermally equilibrium operation, such as steady-state.

    The above figure shows an example of the IGBT junction temperature and the time response of the
    thermistor temperature in 2MBI300VJ-120-50. However, the time response changes depending on the
    usage environment (thermal design, driving conditions of IGBT module, etc.).

    1
    As shown, there is a difference in starting time of temperature rise between the IGBT chip and the
    thermistor time response. In the time domain 100msec or less, only the chip temperature rises while the
    thermistor keeps stable. Therefore, as shown by the fact that the temperature difference becomes big
    between the IGBT chip temperature and the thermistor temperature, it is hard to know the junction
    temperature from the thermistor response in such a short period.
    In addition, , in a short-circuit mode, in which high current flows while voltage is applied, the guaranteed
    time is about 10micro seconds (the guaranteed short-circuit time differs depending on product generation,
    voltage classes and operating conditions), and so the thermistor temperature does not rise in this
    short-circuit period. Namely, the temperature detection by thermistor cannot be used for short-circuit
    protection. Therefore, other protection functions such as over current detection with current sensors
    and/or monitoring the saturation voltage of IGBT Vce (sat).

    − Fuji IGBT Module −
    Calculation of power cycle life when there are multiple different temperature rise peaks

    The power cycle lifeof the IGBT module depends on the temperature swing (and maximum temperature)
    during power cycle. Therefore, when there is only one temperature swing of the IGBT module in one
    particular operation cycle of the inverters/converters, the number of times calculated from the power cycle
    life curve is the life cycle of the IGBT module.
    However, when there are multiple temperature rise peaks in one operation cycle of the inverter, the life
    cycle becomes shorter because the module is influenced by the multiple temperature rises. The calculation
    method of power cycle life when there are multiple different temperature rise peaks is shown below.
    When there are n times of temperature rises for one operation cycle of inverter, the combined power
    cycle life can be expressed in the following formula, where PC(k) is the power cycle life for the k-th (k=1, 2,
    3, …., n) temperature rise.

     n 1 
    PC  1 /   
     k 1 PC (k ) 
    For example, when n=4 and the power cycle numbers for the respective power rise peaks are 3.8 x 106,
    1.2 x 106, 7.6 x 105 and 4.6 x 105, calculation is made as follows:

     1 1 1 1 
    PC  1 /  6
     6
     5
     5   2.2 x10 5

     3.8 x10 1.2 x10 7.6 x10 4.6 x10 


    　
    Therefore, the power cycle lifetime can be obtained from the product of the power cycle life calculated in
    this way and one cycle (time) of operation mode.
    For example, when one cycle of the above operation mode is 1800sec (30min), the lifetime is calculated
    as follows:
    2.2 x 105 x 1800 / (60 x 60 x 24 x 365) = 12.55 ≈ 12 years and 6 months.
