Description

PathWave ADS streamlines the design process by providing integrated templates that help users start their projects more efficiently. With a comprehensive selection of component libraries, locating the desired parts becomes a straightforward task. The automatic synchronization with layout offers a clear visualization of the physical arrangement while you create schematic designs. This data-driven approach enables teams to assess if their designs are in line with specifications. PathWave ADS enhances design confidence through its display and analytics features, which generate informative graphs, charts, and diagrams. Users can expedite their design process with the help of wizards, design guides, and templates. The complete design workflow encompasses schematic design, layout, as well as circuit, electro-thermal, and electromagnetic simulations. As frequencies and speeds continue to rise in printed circuit boards (PCBs), ensuring signal and power integrity is critical. Issues arising from transmission line effects can lead to electronic device failures. It is essential to model traces, vias, and interconnects accurately for a realistic simulation of the board, ensuring that potential problems are identified and mitigated early in the design phase. This multifaceted approach not only improves efficiency but also enhances the overall reliability of electronic designs.

Description

Simcenter PSIM is a specialized Siemens software solution for simulating and designing power electronics, motor drives, and related control systems. It is built to help engineers calculate power converter losses, evaluate motor drive efficiency, analyze conducted EMI, and develop analog or digital control strategies. The platform combines an intuitive interface with a reliable simulation engine that helps reduce time spent fixing convergence problems. Simcenter PSIM is especially useful for high-speed switching simulations because it can handle challenging current and voltage waveforms more smoothly than many general-purpose tools. Engineers can use its design suites for power supplies, resonant LLC converters, motor drives, EMI analysis, filter design, and hybrid electric vehicle powertrain systems. The software can calculate switching and conduction losses for diodes, MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC devices, GaN devices, and losses in inductors. It also supports automatic embedded C code generation from control schematics, helping teams shorten development time and reduce manual coding effort. Verification features such as Monte Carlo, sensitivity, and fault analysis help users evaluate design robustness and support DFMEA activities. Simcenter PSIM gives power electronics teams a fast and practical environment for simulation, control prototyping, and design validation.
