This blocks allows you to select the level of model fidelity by choosing between a detailed model with switching devices or an equivalent model. You can choose from these switching devices are:
GTO — Gate turn-off thyristor. For information about the I-V characteristic of the device, see GTO.
Ideal semiconductor switch — For information about the I-V characteristic of the device, see Ideal Semiconductor Switch.
IGBT — Insulated-gate bipolar transistor. For information about the I-V characteristic of the device, see IGBT (Ideal, Switching).
MOSFET — N-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor. For information about the I-V characteristic of the device, see MOSFET (Ideal, Switching).
Thyristor — For information about the I-V characteristic of the device, see Thyristor (Piecewise Linear).
