A new approach to modelling the impact of EMI on MOSFET DC behavior

Abstract

A simple analytical model to predict the DC MOSFET behavior under electromagnetic interference (EMI) is presented. The model is able to describe the MOSFET performance in the linear and saturation regions under EMI disturbance applied to the gate. The model consists of a unique simple equivalent circuit based on a voltage dependent current source and a reduced number of parameters which can accurately predict the drift on the drain current due to the EMI source. The analytical approach has been validated by means of electric simulation and mesaurement and can be easily introduced in circuit simulators. The proposed modeling technique combined with the nth-power law model of the MOSFET without EMI, significantyly improves its accuracy in comparison with the n-th power law directy applied to a MOSFET under EMI impact.
