Abstract

A first-order behavioral IGBT/gate drive model is proposed together with a procedure for deriving all model parameters. Despite the simplicity of the proposed model, comparison of model predictions with hardware measurements demonstrate the model to be accurate in predicting turn-on and turn-off transients.
