Development of the HiSIM-IGBT Model for EV/HV Electric Circuit Simulation 2011-39-7251
An IGBT model for use in circuit simulations (called the “HiSIM-IGBT model” below) has been developed that can be applied to the design of electrical characteristics occurring in accordance with the complex control methods adopted by the power converters of electric and hybrid vehicles. Since the HiSIM-IGBT model expresses carrier behavior inside the IGBT with physical formulas, electrical characteristics can be simulated with high accuracy, enabling very precise and rapid design of electrical characteristics using IGBTs.
