Power MOSFET SPICE modelling

Started by Glenn August 5, 2013
How can they SPICE model two distinct serially connected resistors (Rls, 
Rcs - respectively Rll, Rcl) inside a power MOSFET? Are they kidding us 
;-) If so is that useful in the model?:

Is it possible (how?) to measure the internal parasitic components with 
a homemade impedance bridge?:

Can this be used to measure the guts of a power MOSFET?:

HP4194A is not within my range. Can HP4194A automatically deduce the 
power MOSFET guts?

How can they do that? For a novice like me it look like magic:

Can somebody give some hints? /Glenn
