Spice model tutorial for Power MOSFE
T
s  
Introduction  
This document describes ST’s Spice model versions available for Power MOSFE
T
s
. This is  
a guide designed to support user choosing the best model for his goals. In fact, it explains  
the features of different model versions both in terms of static and dynamic characteristics  
and simulation performance, in order to find the right compromise between the computation  
time and accuracy. For example, the self-heating model (V3 version), which accurately  
reproduces the thermal response of all electrical parameters, requires a considerable  
simulation effort.  
Finally, an example shows how the self-heating model works.  
Spice models describe the characteristics of typical devices and don’t guarantee the  
absolute representation of product specifications and operating characteristics; the  
datasheet is the only document providing product specifications.  
Although simulation is a very important tool to evaluate the device’s performance, the exact  
device’s behavior in all situations is not predictable, therefore the final laboratory test is  
necessary.

partnumber_V3  
partnumber_V4

V1C version  
It is the basic model (LEVEL =3) enclosing C

oss

and C

rss

modeling through capacitance  
profile tables. It is an empirical model, and it assumes a 27 °C constant temperature.  
V1T version  
It comes directly from V1C version and it also includes the package thermal modeling  
through a thermal equivalent network and presents two additional external thermal nodes T

j  

and T

case

. This version hasn’t the dynamic link between Power MOSFET temperature and  
internal parameters.  
V2 version  
It is more advanced than V1C, in fact it takes into account the temperature dependence and  
capacitance profiles too. It allows the static and dynamic behavior to be reproduced by user  
at fixed temperatures. By using this version, the simulation of self-heating effects isn’t  
possible.  
V3 version  
It comes directly from V2 version and includes the package thermal model through a  
thermal equivalent network and presents two additional external thermal nodes: T

j

and  
T

case

. In this version, during each transient, the current power dissipation is calculated and a  
current proportional to this power is fed into the thermal network. In this way, the voltage at  
T

j

node contains all the information about the junction temperature, which changes internal  
device’s parameters. Since it is a monitoring node, usually T

j

pin is not connected (however,  
to avoid warning messages on this node, the user has to add a floating wire – see

).  
On contrary, T

case

node has to be connected, either to a constant voltage source
Vdc  
representing the ambient temperature or to a heat sink modeled by its own thermal network  
(

).  
V4 version  
It comes directly from V3 version considering the device sited in free air. It includes the  
package thermal modeling through a thermal equivalent network and presents three  
additional external thermal nodes: T

j

,
T

case

and T

amb

. The voltage at T

j

node and
T

case

node  
contains all the information about the junction temperature and case temperature which  
change internal device’s parameters. Since they are monitoring nodes, usually T

j

and T

case  

pins are not connected (however, to avoid warning messages on this node, the user has to  
add a floating wire – see

). Conversely, T

amb

node has to be connected: to a  
constant voltage source

esenting the ambient temperature.

Spice models – instructions to simulate  
In Spice simulator, user has to upload the device symbol (.OLB file) and the Spice model  
(.LIB file) to simulate transistors in the schematic.  
3.1  
Installation  
In the package model, there are the following files:  
•
•
name.lib text file representing the model library written as a Spice code;  
name.olb symbol file to use the model into Orcad capture user interface.  
In Capture open the menu dialog window “Pspice” “Edit Simulation Profile”. Go to  
“Configuration Files” tab and “Library” category. Select the library (*.lib) path by “Browse…”  
button and click to “Add to Design” (see

)  
Figure 3. Capture dialog window to select the library (*.lib)  
GIPD081020131721FSR  
To
i
nclude the symbol *.olb in the schematic view, open the menu dialog window “Place”  
“Part” (or simply pressing “P” key in keyboard) and click the “Add Library…” button (or  
pressing Alt+”A”) to select the file (see figure below).

Finally, you can simulate your circuit choosing the simulation type and parameters.  
3.2  
Typical simulation parameters / options  
As our models contain many non-linear elements, the standard simulation parameters are  
often not suitable.  
The following values can facilitate convergence (set them in dialog window “Pspice”
 
“Edit  
Simulation Profile”
 
“Options” tab):  
ABSTOL= 1nA  
(best accuracy of currents)  
CHGTOL= 1 pC..10 pC  
ITL1= 150  
(best accuracy of charges)  
(DC and bias ‘blind’ iteration limit)  
(DC and bias ‘best guess’ iteration limit)  
(transient time point iteration limit)  
(relative accuracy of voltages and currents)  
ITL2= 20…150  
ITL4= 20…150  
RELTOL= 0.001…0.01  
Note:  
If the following error message appears during the simulation of one of device models:  
==> INTERNAL ERROR — Overflow in device….. <==  
you have to edit the ‘PSPICE.INI’ file by inserting the following line behind the headline  
[PSPICE] as follows:

A brief description of self-heating model (V3 version)  
Power MOSFET’s Spice models are behavioral and achieved by fitting simulated data with  
static and dynamic characterization results.  
The behavioral model is the best approach because it reproduces the electrical and thermal  
behavior of the power device through a simplified physical description of the device  
consisting in a set of equations ruling its behavior at terminal level.  
The self-heating model (V3 version) includes different analog behavioral models (ABM) to  
describe resistors, voltage and current generator, which are temperature-dependent.  
A curve fit optimization algorithm extracts the mathematical expression for ABM, which  
yields a good representation of Power MOSFET’s static and dynamic characteristics.  
In

, the self-heating spice model (V3 version) schematic is shown.

Thermal network  
Thermal impedance network represents the basic element, which is featured inside the  
macro-model. It is used to transform the power dissipated inside the junction into a voltage  
representing the temperature (T

j

).

The voltage drop across the network is detected and used as emitter value inside behavioral  
equations used to model other parameters.  
Thermal impedance is the experimental data required to obtain the Cauer model (see
