Beside the semiconductor components capacitors are also affected by the elevated temperature. In this paper a new thermal characterization method is proposed adopting the thermal transient measurement technique for capacitors utilizing the capacitance itself as temperature dependent parameter.
The capacitor temperature can also be measured with an electrical measurement but it needs to be considered that selecting the appropriate temperature dependent electric parameter is a key for the good measurement results.
In this paper a new thermal characterization method is proposed adopting the thermal transient measurement technique for capacitors utilizing the capacitance itself as temperature dependent parameter. The proposed switched capacitor based circuit generates a signal proportional to the capacitance of the component and hence the temperature.
If the ESR and current are known, the power dissipation and thus, the heat generated in the capacitor can be calculated. From this, plus the thermal resistance of the ca-pacitor and its external connections to a heat sink, it be-comes possible to determine the temperature rise above ambient of the capacitor.
The thermal transient measurement of the capacitor provided realistic transient curves, and the effect of the change of pin length could also be clearly identified. However the validity of the curve still needs to be proven.
The current at that time is observed using the current probe, and the capacitor voltage is observed using the voltage probe. At the same time, the capacitor surface temperature is observed using an infrared thermometer to clarify the relationship between the current and voltage and the surface temperature.
