onsemi launches simulation tools to bring complex power electronics applications to market
Summary
The tools save power electronic engineers time by providing accurate simulation data enabling EliteSiC product selection tailored to customer applications, instead of costly and time-consuming hardware fabrication and testing. The capability to define application-specific parasitics ensures that the generated PLECS models provide highly accurate results for the customer’s system-level simulations. “Our PLECS simulator has proven very popular with power designers due to speed and ease of use,” said Jost Allmelling, Managing Director and Co-Founder, Plexim. “This is a significant step for the industry, increasing its ability to get both hard and soft switching designs to market quickly,” said Asif Jakwani, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Advanced Power Division, which is part of the Power Solutions Group at onsemi. “Our tools enable our customers to understand how our devices perform in their application environment and fully optimise the performance within the boundaries of the technology.” See onsemi’s Elite Power Simulator and Self-Service PLECS Model Generator at booth 1032 at APEC 2023, a conference for practicing power electronics professionals, in Orlando.
