Industry-first PLECS Models and system-level
simulation valid for hard and soft switching applications, corner
modeling and custom parasitic environment, enabling virtual
prototyping
onsemi (Nasdaq: ON), a leader in intelligent power and
sensing technologies, today announced a breakthrough in simulation
tools for onsemi’s EliteSiC Silicon Carbide (SiC) product family
and its applications. The company launched the online Elite Power
Simulator and Self-Service PLECS Model Generator, which provide
meaningful insights for complex power electronic applications
through system-level simulations at an early stage of the
development cycle. The tools save power electronic engineers time
by providing state-of-the-art accurate simulation data enabling
EliteSiC product selection tailored to customer applications,
instead of costly and time-consuming hardware fabrication and
testing.
Users have ultimate power and flexibility to create
high-fidelity system-level PLECS models when the Elite Power
Simulator is deployed in conjunction with the Self-Service PLECS
Model Generator. Whether uploaded to onsemi’s Elite Power Simulator
or downloaded for direct use, the self-service PLECS models deliver
the optimization and accuracy required for demanding power
electronic simulations. The models are generated based on typical
or worst-case conditions to let the customer design within the
technology boundaries. 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. “It is particularly
exciting to see the truly novel aspects here, including the ability
to simulate soft switching accurately, the customized models via
the onsemi Self-Service PLECS Model Generator and the ready-made
models for corner cases.”
To date, system-level simulators and their associated PLECS
models have only been valid for hard switching topologies, with
simulation results for soft switching applications such as LLC
(inductor-inductor-capacitor) or CLLC
(capacitor-inductor-inductor-capacitor) being highly inaccurate.
onsemi’s industry-first PLECS models break this trend and solve
this problem for customers.
“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 optimize the performance within the boundaries of the
technology.”

Generator at booth 1032 at APEC 2023, the leading conference for
practicing power electronics professionals, in Orlando.
