The ability to monitor temperature variations during the actual operation of power modules is key to reliability investigations and the development of lifetime prediction strategies. This paper proposes an original solution, specifically devised with novel fast-switching silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFETs in mind. The results show ability to track temperature variations resulting from active power cycling of the devices, including high speed transients, thus enabling to discriminate among different potential failure mechanisms. Validation of the proposed methodology and its accuracy is carried out with the support of infrared thermography.
