Abstract

This paper provides a behavioral model in Pspice for a silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFET rated at 1200 V / 30 A for a wide temperature range. The Pspice model was built using device parameters extracted through experiment. The static and dynamic behavior of the SiC power MOSFET is simulated and compared to the measured data to show the accuracy of the Pspice model. The temperature dependent behavior was simulated and analyzed. Also, the effect of the parasitics of the circuit on switching behavior was simulated and discussed.
