Abstract:
A new SPICE model for SiC MOSFETs to be used in ASC test simulations has been developed. This model accurately reproduces the behavior of the device at extreme conditions, such as high temperature, high current, and high drain-source voltage, typical for this kind of test. The ASC test has been simulated and the results have been compared with experimental measurements to validate the methodology.
