Remaining Useful Life Prediction of MOSFETs via the Takagi–Sugeno Framework
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- Development of a Takagi–Sugeno framework for modeling MOSFET degradation modeling based on run-to-failure historical data. Thus, instead of a large amount of historical data, parameters of the historical models are stored.
- Development of an on-line estimation and inference scheme selecting a historical model that is used for RUL prediction purposes.
- Development of an on-line approach for estimating an analytical exponential model along with RUL prediction.
- Merging together Takagi–Sugeno data-driven and analytical approaches to form an interval of RUL instead of a point prediction.
- Experimental validation of the proposed approach based on the NASA Ames Prognostics Data Repository [23].
2. RUL Prediction of Power MOSFETs
2.1. MOSFETs
- Maximum drain to source voltage: a nominal parameter of MOSFETs; exceeding the limit voltage results in an uncontrolled mode conduction.
- Maximum drain current: in general, a drain current should not reach a border value. However, there are momentary increases in the current, which are called a pulse of drain current.
- Maximum temperature: specifies the maximum temperature of the junction, which does not affects changes of functionality.
- Gate oxide breakdown: a decrease in gate dielectric thickness causes an increased frequency of switching. A significant reduction of lifetime is noticeable when the nominal gate voltage is exceeded, which possibly results in a failure.
