Abstract

The operating characteristics of power MOSFETs greatly vary depending on the junction temperature. A PSpice thermal model is implemented to simulate the temperature characteristics of the power MOSFETs in this paper. A thermal model is derived that can be applied online in PSpice simulations and PSpice parameters are reconstructed using a curve fitting from commercial data sheets. The implemented PSpice model is applied to the buck converter and the validity of the model is verified through experiments.
