Abstract
In the paper the influence of cooling conditions of semiconductor devices on the characteristics of a boost converter is considered. The form of the thermal model of semiconductor devices is proposed and some results of calculations and measurements of the characteristics of this converter are shown. The investigations were performed for the selected types of power MOSFETs operating at different cooling conditions.
