Abstract

SiC MOSFET analytical models demonstrate higher computational efficiency and simpler implementation than physical/behavioral models. However, existing analytical models fail to properly account forVgs-dependentCgs/Cgddynamics, causing significant errors in switching waveform predictions and switching characteristic parameters (dids/dt,dvds/dtandtdelay). Current SiC MOSFET analytical models implementCgsandCgdcharacterization through either lookup tables or parameterized mathematical expressions, where certain parameters require additional experimental data. This paper presents an accurate analytical model for SiC MOSFETs. This model provides physics-based expressions forCgs(Vgs,Vds) andCgd(Vgs,Vds), derived from charge-potential theory and simplified to capture the dominant capacitance dynamics in each switching Stage. Parameter extraction is performed exclusively using datasheet information. Experimental verification shows
