Identification and modeling of parasitic components in power electronics circuit has become a notable issue for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design to achieve faster and higher-frequency switching operations. This paper characterizes and models the dynamic behavior of circuit components with reflectometry measurement in a time domain. To this end, Prony analysis is applied to the TDR measurement data. The proposed method readily identifies the model order and is tolerant to measurement noise.
