About Thermal Models
Among SPICE models, there are what are called thermal models and thermal dynamic models, which are used to perform simulations relating to heat. We first describe thermal models. We hope the reader will acquire a conceptual image of the general nature of thermal models. What is Thermal Model? A thermal model is a model of an electrical circuit that corresponds to transient thermal resistances, for use in calculations of the thermal circuit associated with the electrical circuit. Thermal resistances are represented by R, and thermal capacities by C. The interchange of thermal circuits and
