To real switching cells and their special features
Driving Power Semiconductor Devices : Context

In order to introduce some of the specific features of real switching cells, we offer a few targeted examples here, based on time simulations with SPICE models supplied by the manufacturers. Although these models are based on identifying the parameters of an equivalent diagram, they faithfully reflect the evolution of electrical quantities during switching. Thus, we first propose a switching cell with an input voltage of V_bus = 400 V and a constant-current type load I₀ = 10 A. One of the transistors proposed in table 2 was used, a vertical superjunction MOSFET transistor STB34N65M5 (650 V, 110 mΩ, STMicroelectronics), for which the model provided by the manufacturer was modified...
