Parameterize a Lookup Table-Based MOSFET from SPICE

This example shows how to use the SPICE simulation results of a metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) to set the
parameter values of an N-Channel MOSFET (Lookup table-based) in Simscape™. Then, it compares the N-Channel MOSFET characteristics in   Copy Command
Simscape with the SPICE netlist simulation results.

Open the N-Channel MOSFET (Lookup Table-Based) Model

Open the MOSFET Subcircuit

The subcircuit contains a SPICE model of an N-Channel power transistor. To open it, in the MATLAB command window, enter edit IAUC100N04S6L014.cir.

Create a Transfer Characteristics Netlist

You can create a SPICE netlist that specifies the target operating range for the subcircuit. The IAUC100N04S6L014_idvgs.net netlist simulates the transfer characteristics with
drain-source voltage list.

Set Lookup Table Parameters for Transfer Characteristics
To obtain the required MOSFET transfer characteristics, run the simulation in SPICE. The ee_mosfet_tabulated_setparam script uses the simulation results stored in the
IAUC100N04S6L014_idvgs1.raw raw-files to set the parameter values for the N-Channel MOSFET (Lookup Table-Based). To set the MOSFET channel parameters, in the Define
Condition tab, check the Set MOSFET channel parameters box, or call the set_param function.

The plot below compares the transfer characteristics of the N-Channel MOSFET (Lookup table-based) with the SPICE subcircuit simulation results.

Create an Output Characteristics Netlist

To parameterize an N-Channel MOSFET (Lookup table-based), you can also use an output characteristics SPICE data. The IAUC100N04S6L014_idvds.net netlist simulates the

Create a Capacitance vs Drain-source Voltage Netlist

To parameterize the tabulated capacitance of an N-Channel MOSFET, create a SPICE netlist that simulates the input capacitance (Ciss), the reverse transfer capacitance (Crss),
and the output capacitance versus drain-source voltage with specific gate-source voltage. The IAUC100N04S6L014_cvds.net netlist simulates the I-V results of Ciss and Crss by a
small AC signal on gate-source voltage and the I-V results of Coss by a small AC signal on drain-source voltage.
