New method for electrothermal simulations: HDTMOS in automotive applications

Electrothermal model of monolithic TOPSwitch regulators

“…Unfortunately, many papers are devoted to electrothermal models of separated semiconductor devices only. For example, in the papers [23–28], [29–32], and , electrothermal models of the diode, electrothermal models of power bipolar junction transistor, and electrothermal models of power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) are described, respectively. In previous years, some electrothermal models of integrated circuits used in switching‐mode power supplies were published, for example, in .…”

The electrothermal macromodel of switching voltage regulators from the L4970 family

“…So far, the ETMs of such devices as bipolar transistors [34,37,38], power Darlington transistors [39], power MOS transistors [32,[40][41][42], SCRs [43] as well as monolithic voltage regulators [44,45] have been formulated for SPICE.…”

“…The first papers on SPICE electrothermal analyses of simple electronic circuits were published at the turn of the 1990s of the previous century [33][34][35][36]. So far, the ETMs of such devices as bipolar transistors [34,37,38], power Darlington transistors [39], power MOS transistors [32,[40][41][42], SCRs [43] as well as monolithic voltage regulators [44,45] have been formulated for SPICE.…”
