Insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) temperature sense circuit for automatically calibrating temperature sense of diode
Abstract:
An IGBT temperature sense circuit is provided. The IGBT temperature sense circuit automatically calibrates a temperature sense of a diode to minimize an error based on element characteristics of a temperature sense diode, precisely senses the temperature and removes a limit of a maximum current (to increase the maximum current) of an output of an IGBT. A temperature sense circuit includes an automatic calibrator that is configured to supply current of a current source to a current to a diode and a diode temperature sensor that is configured to measure a voltage of one side terminal of the diode based on the current of the diode based on a change of a temperature and adjustment of an operation of a protection object device.
