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
