New features and changes introduced in this version are:

• Thermal Dependency Added to Semiconductor Blocks

• New Demos

Thermal Dependency Added to Semiconductor Blocks

Dialog boxes of most of the blocks in the Semiconductors library, and some related blocks, now have a new tab, Temperature Dependence, which lets you specify additional parameters to model the temperature dependence during simulation. For details, see reference pages of the following blocks:

• Diode

• Light-Emitting Diode

• N-Channel IGBT

• N-Channel JFET

• N-Channel MOSFET

• NPN Bipolar Transistor

• Optocoupler

• Photodiode

• P-Channel JFET

• P-Channel MOSFET

• PNP Bipolar Transistor

Compatibility Considerations

In NPN and PNP Bipolar Transistor blocks, a new parameter, Collector-emitter voltage at which h-parameters are defined, has been added. It serves to increase the accuracy with which equation parameters are calculated from h-parameters, to better capture current gain dependence on temperature. As a result, when you use Specify from a datasheet for the Parameterization parameter, there is a small change in the resulting transistor gain BF (calculated from the Forward current transfer ratio h_fe parameter value), compared to the previous version of the block.

New Demos

Demos introduced in this version are:

• Torque Motor

• Schottky Barrier Diode Characteristics

• IGBT Characteristics

• Master-Slave J-K Flip-Flop

Change to an existing demo:

• The Finite Element Parameterized Solenoid demo now includes comparison with the Simscape solenoid demo ssc_solenoid.mdl, to illustrate the effects of flux saturation.
