Z. Bencic et al., ESTIMATION OF TRANSIENT THERMAL IMPEDANCE FOR CONSTANT-CURRENT OF A POWER THYRISTOR USING TEMPERATURE-FIELD CALCULATION, I.E.E.E. transactions on electron devices, 40(10), 1993, pp. 1885-1887
Transient thermal impedance for constant current was calculated by div
iding the overtemperature of a given spot within a silicon pellet with
power losses. The calculation of a temperature field in a silicon pel
let was based on the assumption that losses are produced in the silico
n pellet only. Calculation results of transient thermal impedance for
constant current of one power thyristor were compared to its catalog v
alues.
