Abstract:
Provided is a novel power conversion device that enables estimation of a temperature of a power device without using a temperature sensing diode and can accurately estimate a temperature and a current of a current sensing element that observes a main current. A measurement voltage (Vref) is applied between source terminals (31s and 49s) of a main control element 31 and a current sensing element 49 in a state in which the main control element 31 and the current sensing element 49 are turned off, and a temperature of a power device 30 is estimated from a current (Ib) flowing between the source terminals (31s and 49s) of the main control element 31 and the current sensing element 49 at the time of the application by using the fact that a resistance value of a semiconductor substrate between the source terminals of the main control element 31 and the current sensing element 49 has temperature dependency.
