  • Abstract
    In this paper a new methodology and implementation of an experimental infrared (IR) measurement technique for the thermal and electrothermal analysis of electronic circuits is presented. The electrothermal analysis is based on coupling a circuit simulator and IR thermography measurement through an application program interface that updates the temperature information in near-real time. This method is applied to study the performance of a power MOSFET circuit.
