The IGBT model was implemented in the PSpice circuit simulation platform using PSpice standard components and analog behavior modeling (ABM) blocks. The model was confirmed through a comparison with other models having close characteristics for different circuits (DC–DC converter, turn-on and turn-off) and different temperatures. The suggested model is able to address the electrical and thermal effects. The main local physical effects were taken into consideration. In this paper, an improved electrothermal model of power IGBT was developed.
