  @article{ziegler2023signal, abstract = {Hybrid current sensors are suitable for wide bandwidth current measurement. They entail the fusion of two different measurement circuits, one for DC and low-frequency current and another for high-frequency current. Thus, the advantages of the different measurement principles are incorporated in one current sensor. Hybrid current sensors generate output signals through a superposition of the signals from the low-frequency and high-frequency current sensors. This is realized using analog signal processing by means of an analog operational amplifier circuit. Realization of the superposition of the frequency responses of the different measurement circuits to achieve a constant gain in the transition area is challenging. This study focused on the analog signal processing and its enhancement. Specifically, two possible signal processing approaches to increase the bandwidth based on the state-of-the-art realization of a low-pass filter were devised. These approaches were investigated using a simulation model. Frequency response measurements using a hybrid current sensor based on tunneling magnetoresistance sensors and a Rogowski coil were used for verification. The results show that by enhancing the signal processing, the bandwidth of the current sensors can be significantly increased.}, author = {Ziegler, Philipp and Bura, Michael and Haarer, Jörg and Marx, Philipp and Hirning, David and Roth-Stielow, Jörg}, journal = {2023, IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications}, number = {Issue 4}, pages = {635-642}, title = {Signal Processing Design for Wide Bandwidth Hybrid Current Sensor based on Enhanced Analog Operational Amplifier Circuit}, url = {https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/ieejjia/12/4/12_22007463/_article}, volume = {Volume 12 Pages }, year = 2023 }

The external gate resistor is used as a current shunt to capture the current response. The resulting signal contains the junction temperature information due to the temperature dependency of the gate impedance.

  @inproceedings{9907509, abstract = {Conventional filters needed for the electromagnetic compatibility lower the system power density by consuming additional space in power electronic setups. To increase the power density, alternatives for these filters are needed. If the power electronic setup offers the possibility to synchronize two opposing switching transitions, the common mode noise can be reduced without additional filters. In this case two opposing noise currents reduce one another by superimposition. For power electronic setups which do not offer the possibility to synchronize switching transitions, this paper presents an approach which uses additional half bridges as opposing noise sources connected to a replicated grounding impedance to create the opposing common mode noise. The main goal of the opposing noise source is to create similar potential changes as the power electronic setup over the replicated grounding impedance. The replicated grounding impedance emulates the grounding impedance of an ohmic inductive load with discrete elements. The achieved reduction of the common mode noise with this approach is evaluated with measurements.}, author = {Marx, Philipp and Seybold, Felix and Ziegler, Philipp and Hirning, David and Roth-Stielow, Jörg}, booktitle = {2022 24th European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications (EPE'22 ECCE Europe)}, isbn = {978-9-0758-1539-9}, month = {09}, pages = {1-9}, publisher = {IEEE}, title = {Investigations on the Active Reduction of Common Mode Noise with Opposing Noise Sources}, url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9907509}, year = 2022 }

  @inproceedings{9595166, abstract = {This paper presents investigations on the suitability of using the gate-signal injection method for junction temperature measurement of SiC-MOSFETs. The method is based on the temperature sensitivity of the internal gate resistance. A high frequency signal is injected into the gate circuit while the MOSFET is operating. The response of the injected signal is a high frequency current, which depends on the temperature sensitive gate circuit’s impedance. This current causes a voltage drop across the external gate resistor. This voltage depends on the junction temperature and is evaluated. This method was successfully implemented on Si-IGBTs in the past. However, there are challenges to face in implementing this method on SiC-MOSFETs. This paper shows the challenges and proposes solutions to overcome them.}, author = {Ruthardt, Johannes and Hirning, David and Sharma, Kanuj and Nitzsche, Maximilian and Ziegler, Philipp and Fischer, Manuel and Roth-Stielow, Jörg}, booktitle = {2021 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE)}, doi = {10.1109/ECCE47101.2021.9595166}, issn = {2329-3748}, month = {10}, pages = {5354-5359}, title = {Investigations on Online Junction Temperature Measurement for SiC-MOSFETs Using the Gate-Signal Injection Method}, url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9595166}, year = 2021 }
