Pspice to LTspice igbt model

alephi · Mar 20, 2012

I haven't been diligent enough to read the tutorials yet but all I did was .include the subcircuit definition in my schematic and put the name of the included part in the value field for the nigbt symbol on my schematic and leave all other fields blank. As long as the names match and the include is in the same directory as your schematic, or you put the path to it in the .include command, it works. I've been playing with the .spi models offered by International Rectifier and others with no problems, by doing it like this.
Here's an example of a 600 or 1200V 50A half bridge, excuse the errors, it's just a lashup to illustrate the point...
Save this as a .asc file along with the appropriate .spi files from IR (available as spice.zip from their website with most popular devices included).

Good work Simon! You are concise and knowledgable. Thanks!

phaedrus · Feb 25, 2014

Hi Simon,
Just in case you are still watching,I downloaded the .asc file,but the symbol for IGBT is missing.LTS gives an error msg, saying symbol not found.Anyway to handle this?

Ooops sorry,I got it after reading your post better.

NL3PRC · Mar 14, 2014

I don't get it where can i find and download that spice.zip

seshi reddy kasu · Jul 10, 2014

hi i need an igbt model to create an shunt active power filter, actually i downloaded the igbt.txt in this page.. and when i try to create the symbol it is showing me this error
'trouble in creating directory "C:\programfiles\LTC\LTspiceIV\lib\sym\Auto generated'
usually this is a permission problem

can any one help me on this please

seshi reddy kasu · Jul 10, 2014

hi simon,

can you also tell me the path that where should i save it..

seshi reddy kasu · Jul 10, 2014

i got it just i have to disable user account control thanks for the symbol and model simon

eTech · Jul 11, 2014

Hi

Sorry for this late reply, but...

LTSpice does not recommend custom files of any type be placed in the program folder hierarchy.
Custom subckt files should be placed in the schematic folder.

.model statements can be placed directly on the schematic.
If a .model statement is contained in a file, it must be wrapped with .subckt and .ends statement along with a device definition

Directives .lib or .inc should be used to inform LTspice of the custom subckt file location.

This model statement is incorrect:

MODEL IXGT32N170A NIGBT <-------there is no "NIGBT" device, should be "NMOS"
+ TAU=63.552E-9
+ KP=14.397
+ AREA=16.000E-6
+ AGD=6.4000E-6
+ WB=117.00E-6
+ VT=5.3804
+ MUN=1.0000E6
+ MUP=150
+ BVF=9.9990
+ KF=.5005
+ CGS=38.737E-9
+ COXD=88.530E-9
+ VTD=-5

*******************************************
6th Sept 2016: LTspice XVII has an NIGBT and an PIGBT model. Download this version of LTspice from linear.com

Select the new component icon (the AND gate symbol in the toolbar), then go to the MISC directory. They are in there

Seriously dude? Seems to me Simon has been helping you quite a bit. Stuff takes time... Geezo

Kurt Kloesel · Nov 15, 2019

Not sure what the hassle. I got this working within about 30 minutes using Simon's instructions and making sure the references were in the right places
Capt Kurt

simonbramble · Nov 16, 2019

It is much easier now LTspiceXVII has an IGBT model. I always recommend downloading external spice files into the directory you are working in and NOT the LTspice directories. Then if you reinstall LTspice for whatever reason, the reinstallation process does not wipe out your model.
