Understanding Power Monitor Accuracy
Feb 20th 2015
Measurement of a system’s power consumption during a final factory test (before deployment into the field) is a prudent part of a test program for any product. But there is an increasing emphasis to bring this functionality into the product itself for “run-time” monitoring of power, current, supply voltage, ...
LTspice: SOAtherm Tutorial
Oct 8th 2014
Verifying that a Hot Swap design does not exceed the capabilities of a MOSFET is a challenge at high power levels. Fortunately, thermal behavior and SOA may be modeled in circuit simulators such as LTspice IV® . The SOAtherm-NMOS symbol included in LTspice contains a collection of MOSFET thermal models developed by Linear ...
LTspice: Modeling Safe Operating Area Behavior of N-channel MOSFETs
Aug 22nd 2014
Introduction
Often the most challenging aspect of Hot Swap™ circuit design is verifying that a MOSFET’s Safe Operating Area (SOA) is not exceeded. The SOAtherm tool distributed with LTspice IV® simplifies this task, allowing a circuit designer to immediately evaluate the SOA requirements of an application and ...
