Parameterize MOSFET from Data Sheet and Create Part Collection
This three-part example shows how to parameterize a MOSFET (Ideal, Switching) block using data from a manufacturer data sheet and create a part collection. You can use a part collection to reuse a set of parameter values and share them with others.
To parameterize the block and create a part collection, follow these steps.
Extract the data from the data sheet — To parameterize the MOSFET (Ideal, Switching) block you need I-V data for both the MOSFET and the body diode. You also need data that defines the switching loss curves. To extract this data from the manufacturer data sheet, use the Graph Data Extractor app. For more information, see step one of this example, Extract MOSFET Data from Data Sheet Using Graph Data Extractor.
Reorganize and clean the extracted data and parameterize the block — The data you extract in the first step is in a 1D table format, but the MOSFET (Ideal, Switching) block uses 2D lookup tables with the data structured in a specific way. To parameterize the block, first convert the extracted data into the 2D lookup table format that the block uses. Then, import and validate the parameter values. For more information, see step two of this example, Process and Import Manufacturer Data into MOSFET (Ideal, Switching) Block.
Create a part collection — Now that you have a parameterized part, you may want to reuse it in future designs or share it with others. To do this, you can create a part collection, export it as an MLDATX file, and install it in the Block Parameterization Manager. For more information, see step three of this example, Create and Install MOSFET Part Collection.
