Tutorial for Characterizing a Basic Dynamic IGBT

Use the IGBT Device Characterization Wizard to parameterize a Basic Dynamic IGBT model to match both the DC and dynamic characteristics of a device using information from the manufacturer’s data sheet. The information available in the data sheet limits the accuracy of parameterized IGBT model. For example, if the data sheet does not provide a device’s transfer characteristics, the accuracy of the gate-voltage dependence of the output will be reduced.

The wizard characterizes a wide array of IGBTs. The available information can vary from vendor to vendor, and even between devices from the same vendor. The following procedures include vendor-specific information for help in characterizing models for several vendors’ devices. If you have any additional questions, contact Ansys support.
