FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: system for determining the temperature of the semiconductor junction of the IGBT device includes a differentiating unit (21) for receiving the characteristics of the voltage (VGE) gate-emitter of the IGBT device (12), which must be measured, and to differentiate the characteristics of the voltage (VGE) gate-emitter to receive pulses that correlate with the fronts generated by the phase plot of the charge capacity of Miller during the off phase of the IGBT device (12); a timer unit (23) for measuring the time delay (tdelay) between the received pulses indicating the beginning and the end of the phase plot of the charge capacity of Miller during the off phase of the IGBT device (12); a unit (25) calculating the temperature of the semiconductor junction to determine the temperature of the semiconductor junction of the IGBT device (12) based on the measured time delay (tdelay). This system implements the appropriate method for determining the temperature.
EFFECT: temperature display with high accuracy and high temporal resolution.
