R-C Thermal Model Parameters
DESCRIPTION
The parametric values in the R-C thermal model have
been derived using curve-fitting techniques. These
techniques are described in "A Simple Method of
When implemented in P-Spice, these values have
matching characteristic curves to the Single Pulse
Transient Thermal Impedance curves for the
MOSFET.
R-C values for the electrical circuit in the Foster/Tank
configuration are included. The corresponding values
for the Cauer/Filter configuration are available upon
request.
Note:
For a detailed explanation of implementing these values in
P-SPICE, refer to Application Note AN609 Thermal Simulations Of
