| Model Description | This Punch-Through
IGBT model was developed with the purpose of creating a Basic level
IGBT model with simple, electrical measurement-based parameter
extraction. The model combines an empirical MOSFET with a lumped-charge
based BJT model and provides provide good turn-off and turn-on
transient wafeforms. This model fills a critical need for a Basic
level IGBT model. Development of this model was begun during 1999 by P. O. Lauritzen while a Danfoss Visiting Profess at Aalborg University in Denmark An earlier version of this model was developed by Subramanian
Rajagopalan and K.N. Bhat of
IIT (Indian Institute of Technology), Madras, India and P. O. Lauritzen
who in 1997 was a Fulbright Senior Lecturer at IIT, Madras. This model
was
developed as part of a May 1998 Bachelor of Technology Thesis project
in
the EE Dept. at IIT, Madras. |
