Abstract :
A mathematical formula is presented for the current-voltage characteristic of the VMOS power transistor. The two parameters of this model can be easily extracted from different regions in the device characteristics. By using this formula, the implementation of a new VMOS power transistor model into the source code of circuit-simulation programs, such as SPICE, is feasible.
