Abstract:
A method of controlling a switching frequency of a device is disclosed, the method comprising estimating a rate of temperature ripples experienced by the device; determining the total number of temperature ripples expected over a required lifetime of the device, based on the rate of temperature ripples; determining and setting a first temperature ripple limit based on the total number of temperature ripples expected over the required lifetime of the device; and controlling a switching frequency of the device based on the first temperature ripple limit.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n determining a modified lifetime for the device based on the required lifetime and a theoretical wear that the device will experience at its target lifetime; and determining the total number of temperature ripples expected over the modified lifetime of the device.
