Some quick questions.....
I'm using a voltage controlled switch to model a mosfet in pspice.
VCTRL 10 0 PULSE(0V 5V 0 100nS 100nS 1900nS 5000nS)
.MODEL SWP VSWITCH(VON=5V VOFF=0V RON=0.5 ROFF=1MEG)
I am averaging the (current * voltage) through the switch to calculate average power dissipation. Now I have a question about how they relate specifically to the mosfets and mosfet drivers....
The driver I have has a gate Trise of 50ns max, Tfall of 50ns max.
The mosfet has a rise/fall transition time of 20ns.
Should the rise/fall time of the voltage controlled switch be 20ns? 50ns? 70ns?
