  • Abstract
    Models of power semiconductor devices are implemented in the circuit simulator PSpice. The combination of subcircuits and mathematical functions enables very compact solutions. High accuracy and validity in a wide operation range are obtained due to the derivation from device physics. Models of the power diode and the IGBT are presented as examples
