Abstract

A method of measuring the relative permittivity, hysteresis loop, and loss density of dielectric materials used in integrated electromagnetic power passives is proposed in this paper. This method tests the dielectric capacitors under large signal condition, which resembles in-circuit conditions in power electronics applications. The relative permittivity of the dielectric material and its dependence on electric field strength and temperature are investigated. By analysis of the D-E hysteresis loop, the loss densities of the dielectric materials under different temperatures are also discussed.
