  • Abstract
    Transistor thermal model is nonlinear and highly dependent upon temperature. For reliability assessments, accurate estimation of the junction temperature is especially critical. This paper proposes a novel approach that employs an observer during thermoelectrical aging for estimation of the junction temperature based on available and measurable temperature data.
