Mosfet Model Maker Excel
I present a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that can be used to make a SPICE model from the part's datasheet. In a previous video, I used Mathcad to make my MOSFET SPICE model, however, I no longer have access to Mathcad and Excel is a great alternative. I show how to use the ID vs VDS family of curve to extract the DC characteristic and the parasitic capacitance to get the AC characteristic and then show how to verify with SPICE. Please keep in mind that this is a first order model. I have successfully used this procedure to model devices that have no SPICE model and have gotten good results. If you find this video useful, please subscribe and share. Request for the Excel spreadsheet can be ...

Просмотров 563Год назад
Here is a short video showing TopSPICE improvements of the Frequency Response Analyzer (FRA) and the new schematic probing similar to LTSPICE. I show how to setup the FRA menu and explain the new voltage amplitude sweeping signal which helps in extracting the FRA signal in high gain power supply. Questions or comments can be sent to rbola35618@aol.com.
Bode 100 Making Low Impedance Measurement using the BWIC Jig
Просмотров 902Год назад
When making a low impedance measurement, the Two Port Method is the preferred way of making low impedance measures below 1mohm. However, if you clean the contacts of the BWIC (specified at 20 mohm to 600 kohm) and PCB, and use some shielding, you can extend the measurement of the BWIC down to 1mOhms or less. Questions or comments can be sent to rbola35618@aol.com.
Bode 100 Low Capacitance, High Impedance measurement
Просмотров 883Год назад
In this video, I show that the Bode 100 has a slightly higher impedance ceiling up to 140dB-ish. I show how to calibrate the Bode 100 and measure two series connected 0.5 pF capacitors for a total of 250 Femtofarad. I show how I use two PCBs; one with the DUT and the other to calibrate the parasitic of the BWIC jig. If you cannot calibrate the parasitic capacitance of your measurement jig, you ...
LTSPICE 17.1 FRA vs TOPSPICE Version10 FRA
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.Год назад
In this video, I compare the simulation speed between TopSPICE Version 10 and LTSPICE. I simulate a Royer supply and made duplicate models in both simulators. I then performed a transient response analysis. TopSPICE V10 seems to be faster than LTSPICE. I then compared the FRA capabilities of both simulators. TopSPICE's FRA seems to be much faster than LTSPICE's FRA. Questions and comments can b...
TopSPICE Version 10 New FRA
Просмотров 838Год назад
Penzar Development just introduced an improved and faster SPICE simulator. One of the features they improved was the FRA. The FRA now saves all of the node's voltages and currents at steady state, stores those values, and reloads the values on subsequent FRA sweeps. The new algorithm reduced simulation time by 4 to 6 time. I show how to setup the simulator and show the FRA results and compare t...
Siglent SDS2354X HD Switching Power Loss Measurement
Просмотров 3,5 тыс.Год назад
Measuring switching power loss in a MOSFET can be challenging. The Siglent has a power loss measurement feature. I show that measuring the Vds and the Ids, the scope will multiply those two plots and display the switching power loss. A second and more accurate method, is to enter the Rdson of the MOSFET and have it multiplied by the Ids_on^2 to get the switching power loss. I hope you find this...

Analysis, Design of a Fyback, V34 What is Reverse Recovery of a Diode
Excuse me, may i ask what the dot stands phisically for a coupled inductors ? I mean, given a real "transformer", how can i identify the right connections ? Furthermore, i think there's something not clear about deriving [EQ6] from [EQ4] = [EQ5] in your main comment, are they correct ?
thank you sir
@robertbolanos Thank you for your videos. These videos are gems for people working on flyback designing. My RCD snubber is reducing the voltage spike but not eliminating the ringing. Is there any specific reason for this? Once again thank you for your videos
Thank you Sir.
Dear Robert, i have request for the excel formula design. Do your received my email? thanks
Send email to rbola35618@aol.com
thank you so so much :)
Any reference on the math behind these parameters that are used in the spice model?
ruclips.net/video/eE-8Q0vPUak/видео.html
Above in the video I posted I derived the equation. For lambda, Lambda=(Delta_Id}/(delta_Vds*Ids_average)
Nice and more interesting video.
Hi Robert, Looks good . Can I get the excel sheet ?
Email at rbola35618@aol.com and I will send to you.
Very informative video
Robert! I’m MARINA! I’m living in Raleigh in NC. Are you in Texas?
@@Mariiina242 Hi Marina. I am in San Antonio Texas
Hi, but when I also add the term (1+λVds) to the current equation and have fixed the current Id, Vt and Kp, how can I understand the values of Vgs and Vds? For example, in the current mirror I want polarization with a fixed Id current, how can I also fix the Vds in such a way as to obtain the fixed Vgs? Could you point me to a guide that explains how to make a MOSFET work as an ideal current generator to impart a reference current into a current mirror? thank you so much
Is there somewhere I can download the document used in the presentation?
Yes, please send email to rbola35618@aol.com and I will send you my notes and files
Excelenet!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for this great series on Flyback converter design. I have all my interns review and study your material. Your instruction and techniques reflect your years of practical experience and excellence. Thanks for passing this knowledge down to future generations.
Thank you much for the kind comments. It make my day hearing this a very pleasant day.
Hi Robert, Thank you for this video. Question, in the title you mention that this is a transformer and so I am assuming that this is a ferrite material with no air gap. However, in your video you mention that this is an inductor. Is this an inductor with an air gap or a transformer?
Hi Reni, If I recall it had a gap. Adding a gap will make the inductor go into saturation at a higher voltage. If you look at a B vs H curve, the make the slope of the curve less so the saturation happens at a higher H and therefore higher current. I hope that makes sense. Have a good day. RB
@@RobertBolanos Thank you, Is your Transformer spreadsheet available to dowload?
@@enochreturn I have the flyback spreadsheet that I can sent if you give me your email.
Excelente video!!! A question I have tried to follow the Rdc equation (15:17 and 23:42) and I can see that there is a factor in the multiplication = *2.4, why? This value does not correspond to the one in the excel sheet provided by you... is it an adjustment factor? thank you very much for your reply.
What is the power dissipation on the MOSFET?
Many thanks, this is a veri good!!! Hello is possible send me the material Excel!. Thanks

Thank you so much for the great video, but how did you get the value for Vd'? Why it is 0.48V?
Thank you for your great presentation. But i have any questions. What about resonant frequency of converter, in this point our converter has lower impedance, and yes Middlebrook Criteria need to be satisfied in all frequency domain less that our Fsw. Can you explain, because your Impedance calculation don't reflect this, and cutoff frequency off your filter is designed only using needed attenuation and don't exclude intersection between peak of filter impedance and lower impedance of converter at resonant frequency, and if i understand correctly, this model of converter don't use variable negative resistance like real converter is. Thanks you very much and please correct me if i misunderstood something!
Dear Sir, Could you show how to do this type of simulation on LTSpice? Cordially,
Greetings and Super excellent videos. Could you send a link with the PDF of Wuth's book? I try that design kit with typical materials. My idea is to build a kit with materials per part since this kit is not sold... It is possible to take a photo or focus on it... thank you very much for your excellent videos.
Dear Sir, I am carefully studying your videos but unfortunately the TopSpice DEMO does not have a model for the 4N25. Is there any alternative? This simulation is much more complicated in LTSpice?
I can sent you the netlist
Send email to rbola35618@aol.com
Dear@@RobertBolanos , I have sent you the e-mail requesting the model. Many thanks!
Hello Robert, I'm trying to duplicate your results using LTSpice and i'm only coming up with a max current from the FFT at 100Khz as ~456mA not 645mA. Could you point out the initial similation that gave you those results?
Hi Robert. Make sure you do a long enough transient simulation to where it comes to steady state. Then zoom in the the end and you need enough cycles Maybe 50 cycle or more so the the FFT will be accurate enought. One other thing the effects LTspice is the engine you use. There are two simulator. The first simulator is aimed at speed at the expense of accuracy. So in somewhere in the command you can select to use the more accurate slice engine. Hope yhe helps
@@RobertBolanos Hello Robert, Thanks for the information. I just tried the settings that you described and I'm getting the same results. I ran the simulation for 500ms and zoomed in on the latter portion of the steady state window for the output current source (or current source being injected into the line) and FFT'd the window region only and ~ 456mA. Now, I'm assuming that the FFT of the current source shouldn't matter if the dampening network along with the filter inductor and capacitor were connected as we are only looking to see the value of the 100kHz harmonic of the current being injected... correct? I also see in your images that you have the source voltage at 28V but sometimes at 0V, does this matter? I wouldn't think so, but again, I'm trying to correlate your measurements against mine. I'm looking at using another spice engine - Q-Spice (new Michael Englehardt simulator). Would it matter which simulator I tried? Has anyone else duplicated this issue or Roberts results?
@@robertthurman8412 Hi Robert. Can you send me your LTspice file to rbola35618@aol.com. I would like to take a look at it.
I have played with Qspice. It is very fast. Only disadvantage is no parts datasbase.
@@RobertBolanos Yes, I noticed that too. I'm trying it out now with some of the models that I imported into LTSpice.
thank you Robert
Thank you for watching!
Love your spelling of PI. (PIE - hehe)
I had taken a whole year of Flyback design courses at the university. And you sir, undoubtly a better teacher than my tutors! Thank you a lot!
Thank you for the comment. It made my day!!!
That's a very useful comparison. Did you set all of the SPICE options to the same values on both simulators?
Yes, I tried to make all the spice parameter the same. The reason TopSPICE is faster when it come to the FRA, I worked to the developer in doing an algorithm to where the first simulation or frequency sweep takes the longest and the simulation time has to long enough for the circuit to come to steady state (SS). I asked that that once the circuit is at steady state, to save all the nodes and component current anc voltage and use those SS values at the start of all subsequency frequency sweep. This means that the rest of the simulation start at SS time and not from 0. This saves alot of time. I hope it make sense. Robert
Yes makes sense and the best way to implement the algorithm.
i have a problem i measure lk = 70 uH and lp = 175 uH so K = 0.77 is this very bad?
Yes the leakage to very high
how can i fix it?@@RobertBolanos
Generally, you want to fill the layers to 80 to 90 percent converage. In other others, lets say you primay on the 1st layer is 5 turns of 1 strand of wire, and if would amounts to 40 percent of the first layer, then what you can do is wind it a two strands to that it will cover 80 percent of the 1st layer on the bobbin. You do the same with the rest. Please details of your transfomrer calculator and any other information to rbola35618@aol.com
Great video sir, thanks. Learn a lot.
I am glad you liked it!
Hi Robert greetings from Spain Would be nice to have compensation example with transconductance amplifier model, since is widely used on many regulator chips :)
Thank you for your great presentation. Could you tell me please how did you select the value of the negative resistance?
Thank you for the comments!
The RC damp is ur snubber?
Yes, you can think of it as a damper or a snubber!
How is the secondary voltage 12V in the Nr = 0.1 case - surely the secondary voltage in only 2.4V in that case? This then gives the same Vds of 2* Vin = 48V...
thank you Robert for your excellent explanation 👍🏻
