Eingebaute mikroelektromechanische (MEMS) Sensorvorrichtung für Leistungshalbleiter

摘要

An on-board micro-electromechanical (MEMS) isolator is provided on board a power semiconductor device for measuring voltage, current, or both. In particular, the power semiconductor may comprise a plurality of transistors connected in parallel, such that a MEMS isolator connected in parallel with one of the transistors measures voltage across the semiconductor. A MEMS isolator may further be connected in series with the transistors to measure current flow thereacross. A compensation circuitry may be provided to receive the current output from the isolator, and determine total current flow through the power semiconductor.
