Model Parameters

The Model Parameters page shows the extracted values of the parameters, their allowed range, default values, and a brief description.

Select the N- or P-type of an IGBT or Power MOSFET. By default, an N-type IGBT component is created. To create a P-type IGBT, click the value field of the TYPE_IGBT line and switch the value to pIGBT or pMOSFET.

To complete the device characterization process:

1. To complete the characterization process and place the model in the schematic:

1. Click Finish. The Model Parameters dialog box closes.

2. Click and drag the component to a location on the schematic.
3. Click the mouse at the desired location to place the component.
4. Press Esc to exit placement mode.

The component has now been successfully characterized and placed on the schematic. A copy of the component definition is available in the Components tab of the Component Libraries window.

2. To complete the characterization process and create a test circuit for the characterized component:

1. Select a type of test circuit in the combo box. The test circuits that are available for a particular component depend on the type of the component and its configuration.
2. Click Finish. The Model Parameters dialog box closes, and the test circuit with the characterized component appears in a new project window.

3. To complete the characterization process and create a stand-alone SML model of the device:

1. Click Create SML to create a parameterized IGBT or Power MOSFET component. The Save As dialog box appears.

2. The component name specified in the Component Information dialog box is the file name.
3. Browse to the location you want to store the component model and click Save. A stand-alone SML model is now available for import or to distribute.

4. Click Finish to complete the Characterize Device wizard and place the component on the schematic, or click Cancel to complete the wizard without placing the component.
