Abstract |
The static and dynamic model of IGBT for the SPICE simulation has been successfully developed. The various circuit model parameters are extracted from the I-V and C-V characteristics of IGBT and implemented into our model. The static model of IGBT consists of the MOSFET, bipolar transistor and series resistance. The parameters to be extracted are the threshold voltage of MOSFET, current gain β of bipolar transistor, and the series resistance. They can be extracted from the measured I-V characteristics curve. The C-V characteristics between the terminals are very important parameters to determine the turn-on and turn-off waveform. Especially, voltage dependent capacitance are polynomially approximated to obtain the exact turn-on and turn-off waveforms. The SPICE simulation results employing new model agree well with the experimental values. |
