Abstract :
In this paper, the way to provide an electrical equivalent scheme for any power multi chip module (PMCM) is presented. Considering the geometrical description of the PMCM, an electrical R, L, M circuit is automatically generated using a special software, InCa. This circuit can be used either directly in a PSPICE simulation, or to analyse technical parameters like switching cell inductance, interaction between power and drive circuit or current unbalance in the PMCM
