This macro-model implementation is the culmination of years of evolution in MOSFET modeling. This new version brings together the thermal and the electrical models of a VDMOS MOSFET. The existing electrical model[2,3] is highly accurate and is recognized in the industry. The sequence of the model calibration procedure using parametric data is described. Simulation response of the new self-heating MOSFET model track the dynamic thermal response and is independent of SPICE¡¯s global temperature definition. %K Device Characterization %K Device Modeling %K High Power Discrete Devices %K Modeling %K MOS Device %K Power Semiconductor Devices %K Semiconductor Devices %K Simulation %K Thermal Design %K Spice %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.msse.20120102.02.html
