I aggree with this. Here is really a lack wich has limitated spice usage, in
power electronics circuit simulation. To implement good switching mechanism
in transient simulation , one must (i think) have a look on the time
stepping process in the spice3 algorithm. Switching effect require really an
event driven time-stepping process like what is used for mixed-mode
simulation time-stepping mechanism to fit the switching instant. So switches
have to contribute also to the timestep instead of using only reactive
elements.
After this, differents switches could be coded with different level : Power
BJT, Power Diode(internally controlled switch), SCR, IGBT etc.
Could we use XSPICE event-driven transient simulation core ?
