PSpice Models for the Power Electronics Designer
The Power IC Model Library incorporates over 150 time-domain simulation models for power electronic designs and gives designers capabilities previously unavailable for these popular parts - the ability to plug in a model, representative of the actual IC, and simulate the switching performance under actual operating conditions.
Today’s designs mandate more
SMPS applications today are much more demanding than ever. Today's designs require increases in power IC functionality, switching frequency, and system interaction. State space based models simply do not reveal many important nonlinear factors that influence these performance characteristics. The models in this new model library enable designers to perform high-speed, cycle-by-cycle simulations to show true large-signal performance, simulate current-mode control using the latest accurate modeling techniques, run CCM and DCM converter simulations, generate line and load step responses, and measure power stage loss and stress analysis for all major components.
The models in the Power IC Model Library are compared and verified with bench data under startup, steady state, line, and load transient conditions. Nonlinear characteristics such as propagation delay, switching speed, drive capability, maximum duty cycle/current limits, and startup phenomena are all accurately modeled. Designers can directly compare the performance of components from various vendors and analyze the effects of different implementations such as peak current mode control, hysteric current control, low voltage, and low operating current, to name just a few.
Power IC Model Library key benefits:
- Analyze large signal effects like start-up transients, power stage semiconductor stress, and step-load response
- Explore different approaches to transformer, converter, filter, and control structures
- Compute component stresses and test for excessive power dissipation
- Compare circuit characteristics with linear and nonlinear magnetics
- Analyze in both time and frequency domains
- Simulate and analyze your entire power supply
