For a full summary, please see the Release… Read more

Simplis Technologies, Inc. announces the release of SIMetrix/SIMPLIS 6.2. New features include data registers for the Advanced Digital components, the selection of MOSFETs and Diodes by device ratings, and the ability to attach measurements to fixed probes. The user selected measurements are updated after each simulation on the graph viewer and, if desired, on the schematic. In addition to these features, an enhanced diagnostic error message is generated when the Periodic Operating Point analysis is unable to find the steady-state operating point of a system. For additional detail please see… Read more

This video briefly illustrates why SIMetrix/SIMPLIS is the world leading simulation tool for closed-loop power supply design. SIMPLIS can find the steady-state Periodic Operating Point of a switching power supply much faster than running a long transient. AC analysis in SIMPLIS runs fast and requires no average models to measure a Bode Plot. Transient simulations of closed-loop power supplies in SIMPLIS are typically 10 - 50 times faster than Spice. Please note, this video uses annotations and there is no sound.

Simplis Technologies, Inc. announces today the release of the latest version of its market-leading simulation engine. Version 6.0 is a strong continuation of our efforts to support our power electronics customers in their virtual prototyping processes. In practice, Virtual Prototyping requires both simulation speed and accuracy. SIMPLIS Version 6.0 introduces important new features that aim to speed up the virtual prototyping process, especially for complex power controllers with very large amounts of digital content. We have also added storage and memory management features that reduce the… Read more

Simplis Technologies, Inc. announces the release of the Design Verification Module, an add-on to the market leading SIMetrix / SIMPLIS simulation package. The Design Verification Module (DVM) enables a user to automate the execution of a suite of tests, compare the measured results with design performance specifications and generate a user-friendly test report summarizing the circuit performance of a switching power supply. Configuration of an existing circuit for use with DVM generally takes less than five minutes and the automated test configuration can save hours of work. With a few… Read more

Simplis Technologies, Inc. announces today the release of a new version of its market-leading simulation engine.  While SIMPLIS has long been the leader in simulation for analog power electronics, the new SIMPLIS 5.6 incorporates Advanced Digital simulation bringing those same capabilities to a new generation of power supply designs. SIMPLIS 5.6 allows designers of digitally controlled power supplies to effectively explore the interaction between increasingly complex digital control schemes and the resulting performance of the complete power supply system.  Updating to SIMPLIS 5.6 offers… Read more

Greenville, South Carolina (February 10, 2009) - KEMET Corporation (KEME.OB), The Capacitance Company, announced that it has released its full line of capacitor models to the SIMetrix/SIMPLIS simulation software, which allows Signal Integrity, Power Integrity, and board design engineers to model the decoupling scheme of a printed circuit board using the SIMetrix/SIMPLIS simulation software. KEMET’s new low ESR and low ESL polymer products are specifically designed for the high speed processor board level decoupling applications. Using the SIMetrix/SIMPLIS simulation tool, design engineers… Read more

SIMPLIS makes the process of virtual prototyping a practical option for the design of switched mode power supplies in a way that has not been available in the past.  While simulation will never completely replace hardware testing and qualification, Virtual Prototyping with SIMPLIS can detect over 50% of design errors that would otherwise go undetected until a power supply design is committed to hardware.  We know of no other design quality improvement technique that can begin to match this capability. The most productive users of SIMPLIS are using it to verify the performance of their… Read more
