IGBT high accuracy behavioral macromodel

The paper presents IGBT macromodel, which is built using the configuration of the Hammerstein model. The DC part of the model represents the slope of the output characteristic in the saturation region. The exponential functions are using in the dynamic block. For the purposes of the optimization the investigated model is implemented first in MATLAB/Simulink and than in PSpice simulator that resulting in good accuracy and reduced CPU time. The parameter extraction and optimization are fulfilled by MATLAB programs. The good agreement (around 3%) between the simulation and experimental results can be observed at the end of the paper.
