I downloaded Models of MOSFET CoolSiC 650V from the Infineon official website(https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/power/mosfet/silicon-carbide/discretes/imw65r030m1h/?tab=~%2... ), and tried to simulate in Pspice, but an error was reported. The device I am using is IMW65R030M1H_L0. The specific error content is:

--------------- INFO(ORPROBE-3209): Simulation Profile: SCHEMATIC1-TEST ---------------

I searched for relevant information for a long time but failed to solve it. There was even a post that was very similar to my problem, but I couldn't get a feasible solution(https://community.infineon.com/t5/MOSFET-Si-SiC/Ask-for-the-PSpice-model-of-650V-SiC-Trench-MOSFETs/... ).
I hope to get help from everyone in the community, thank you very much!😊😊😊

Hi,

try to do this: Copy the following code and paste to the model.lib file. Then create a new model, this model should work.

.SUBCKT IMW65R030M1H_L0 drain gate source
.PARAM fpar128=1.1448 fpar129=1.0 Rs=7.39E-04 Rg=4.54E-02 fpar127=6.278
Ld drain dd 2.18n
Lg gate g 9.14n
Ls source s 3.33n
X1 dd g s tech_sicmos_L0 PARAMS: Rs={Rs} Rg={Rg} fpar128={fpar128} fpar129={fpar129} fpar127={fpar127}
.ENDS IMW65R030M1H_L0

BR,

Steven

Hi,

I got the same problem when i was doing simulation in LTspice. I am trying to figure out internally. 

Thanks and BR,

Hello,

Thanks for your reply!

Over the course of a day, I've tried a number of things, but none of them solved the problem. I don't have a clue now, maybe because I don't know how to set and use Lg, Ld, and Ls.
I plan to email the official tech support for help, and hope you can help me if you find a way.

Best wishes,

Yilia

Hi Yilia,

this 650 CoolSiC model are tested with Simetrix. Can you try if it works with Simetrix. We are working on optimizing the SPICE models for LTSPICE and PSpice. They will be published once validated.

Hi,

Since all the work I have done in the early stage is based on Pspice, I am more concerned about when I can get the device model suitable for Pspice.

The logic is change the {Lg} to number.

If you have problem to do this, write me back.
