Zusammenfassung:A service life diagnostic device includes a Vce amplifier, a Vee amplifier, and a service life diagnostic unit. The Vce amplifier measures a voltage between a collector main terminal connected to a collector electrode of a semiconductor element mounted on a semiconductor device, and an emitter main terminal connected to an emitter electrode of the semiconductor element. The Vee amplifier measures a voltage Vee between the emitter main terminal and an emitter reference terminal connected to the emitter electrode. The service life diagnostic unit diagnoses a service life of the semiconductor device using a correlation value between a temporal change of the voltage Vce and a temporal change of the voltage Vee.
