ABSTRACT

After completing this chapter, students should be able to do the following:

Model BJTs and IGBTs in SPICE, and specify their mode parameters.

Model pulse-width modulation (PWM) control in SPICE as a hierarchy block.

Perform transient analysis of voltage-source and current-source inverters.

Evaluate the performance of voltage-source and current-source inverters.

Evaluate the performance of DC-linked inverters.

Evaluate the performance of multilevel inverters.
