The reliability of the power supply directly influences the security of the embedded system, and has been the research focus of numerous electronic information and energy studies. The degradation of power modules occupies a dominant position among the key factors affecting the power supply reliability. How to dynamically determine the degradation state and forecast the remaining useful life of working power modules is critical. Therefore, an online non-intrusive method of obtaining the degradation state of MOSFETs based on the Volterra series is proposed. It uses the  self-driving signal of MOSFETs as a non-intrusive incentive, and extracts the degradation characteristics of MOSFETs by the frequency-domain kernel of the Volterra series. Experimental results show that the identification achieved by the method agrees well with  the theoretical analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s140101132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,13]],"date-time":"2014-01-13T03:27:49Z","timestamp":1389583669000},"page":"1132-1139","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Non-Intrusive Method for Monitoring the  Degradation of MOSFETs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Li-Feng","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"},{"name":"Beijing Engineering Research Center of High Reliable Embedded System,  Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Electronic System Reliable Technology, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"},{"name":"Beijing Engineering Research Center of High Reliable Embedded System,  Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Electronic System Reliable Technology, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Guan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"},{"name":"Beijing Engineering Research Center of High Reliable Embedded System,  Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Electronic System Reliable Technology, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guo-Hui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"},{"name":"Beijing Engineering Research Center of High Reliable Embedded System,  Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Electronic System Reliable Technology, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Juan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"},{"name":"Beijing Engineering Research Center of High Reliable Embedded System,  Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Electronic System Reliable Technology, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"492","article-title":"An on-line fault diagnosis method for power electronic drives","volume":"10","author":"Anderson","year":"2011","journal-title":"IEEE Electr.
