This paper provides an experimental investigation through infrared thermography of the steady-state temperature imbalance arising in parallel SiC MOSFETs. A switched-mode boost power converter based on two arrays of 4 parallel 1.2 kV MOSFETs is selected as a case-study. The analysis aims at proving that a proper device arrangement can minimize the thermal imbalance in the absence of circuit layout optimization. © 2024 The Author(s).

Abstract
This paper provides an experimental investigation through infrared thermography of the steady-state temperature imbalance arising in parallel SiC MOSFETs. A switched-mode boost power converter based on two arrays of 4 parallel 1.2 kV MOSFETs is selected as a case-study. The analysis aims at proving that a proper device arrangement can minimize the thermal imbalance in the absence of circuit layout optimization. © 2024 The Author(s).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
