Simulation Circuit Used for Thermal Simulation of DC-DC Converters
When the Solution Circuit of the above DC-DC converter BD9G500EFJ-LA is started, the circuit shown in Figure 1 will be opened. The part enclosed by the green line represents the thermal simulation circuit, and the remaining part represents the electronic simulation circuit.
Figure 1. Simulation circuit of DC-DC converter BD9G500EFJ-LA
This electronic circuit is an application circuit using a BD9G500EFJ-LA single-channel step-down DC-DC converter with a maximum output current of 5A.
The thermal simulation circuit will input the loss of BD9G500EFJ-LA (hereinafter referred to as "IC") and the loss of Schottky barrier diode (hereinafter referred to as "SBD") RB088BM100TL calculated by the electronic simulation circuit into the thermal simulation model, and calculate the IC and SBD temperature.
