Characteristics

DESCRIPTION

The attached spice model describes the typical electrical

characteristics of the p-channel vertical DMOS.

The subcircuit

model is extracted and optimized over the

−55 to 125°C

temperature ranges under the pulsed 0-V to 5-V gate drive. The

saturated output impedance is best fit at the gate bias near the

threshold voltage.

A novel gate-to-drain feedback capacitance network is used to model

the gate charge characteristics while avoiding convergence difficulties

to provide a best fit to the measured electrical data and are not

intended as an exact physical interpretation of the device.
