Application Note 1807 December 2009 DRF Series SPICE Models George Krausse Phone: 541-382-8028, ext. 1200 gkrausse@microsemi.com Introduction This application note presents SPICE Models for DRF100, DRF1200 and DRF1300 and DRF1400. These models are presented in two forms. The first, most straightforward, form is in applications where node zero (0), (ground), is at zero volts at all times. This form is written for Intusoft SPICE. The second form is where the node zero (0), (ground), is not at zero volts and may have a high frequency component. This form is valid for most SPICE platforms. DRF100 SPICE Model This section discusses the three elements of the DRF100 SPICE Model: the symbol, the sub circuit, and the test circuit. Illustrated in Figure 1 is the DRF100 SPICE symbol. All pin locations, function and labeling are the same as the data sheet. Figure 1 DRF100 SPICE Symbol. See Note 1. Developed for Intusoft SPICE DRF100 Sub Circuit Diagram The DRF100 sub circuit diagram is illustrated in Figure 2. X2 the MAX9010 model is used as the input comparator, the switching speed is a close match to the DRF100 input; however the hysteresis has been altered to more closely model the DRF100 performance. The XNOR gate A1 is used to provide the invert function of the FN pin. Inverter A2 and Buffer A3 are used to create the device delay, and gates X3A and X3B provide the drive for the differential pair X7 and X5. These two devices provide the drive, level match and signal timing for the half-bridge output devices X1 and X6. L2, C3 and R11 model the output characteristics of the DRF100. All parameters of the DRF100 Model are accurate with respect to the device performance with the exception of the DC idle current. The specification is ≅ 2mA however the model idle current is ≅ 4mA.

The pulse generator V2 allows the model to be tested over the operating range as described in the data sheet. In actual circuit operation and PCB layout the FN pin may be left open if the inverting function is not used, however the SPICE Model requires that FN pin 3 be connected to at least 1 additional component, C3 a 1pF capacitor is used in the SPICE test circuit. Figure 3 DRF100 SPICE Test Circuit. See Note 1. Developed for Intusoft SPICE Note 1 The DRF100.DWG file is the sub circuit illustrated in Figure 2 and the symbol file in Figure 1. Both are necessary for all DRF100 modeling. Test circuit, Figure 3, is very useful for device evaluation. The DRF100 TEST.DGW file is the test circuit illustrated in Figure 3. The DRF100 SPICE Model node (0) is limited to a fixed V=0 and ∆V=0 potential. The model will not function if node (0) is at a DC potential > 0 or a time varying signal that is not equal to zero. See next section. DRF100 SPICE Model for Non-Zero Reference Planes. Non Zero Reference Planes are defined as those Planes where node (0) is not 0V and may also be a time varying signal. Figure 4 DRF100. This Model should work with most SPICE platforms. The Model illustrated in Figure 4 will operate correctly for any signal type or value at node (0). Pulse value should be set to between 10V and 15V. Pulse rise time and pulse fall time must be set at 3 ns (3 nano-seconds). All other parameters should be set to circuit requirements, which are within the data sheet capabilities of the DRF100. Throughput delays are not incorporated in this model. www.microsemi.com 2/9 Application Note 1807 December 2009 DRF1200 SPICE Model This section discusses the three elements of the DRF1200 SPICE Model: the symbol, the sub circuit and the test circuit.
