Power Electronics Design

Intusoft's ICAP/4 product family provides advanced technology for power electronic design, simulation, verification and test of analog and mixed-signal circuitry. Within the full-featured "SpiceNet" design entry system, 30 ready-to-use SMPS schematic templates save design time, plus feature embedded ICs, fast average models and passive devices with second-order effects. A dedicated power component library adds an extra 900+ devices within the simulation library. Hysteretic average models simulate devices up to two orders of magnitude faster than switch models, while delivering high accuracy. Also provided are special injection models derived from Dr. Middlebrook's legendary General Feedback Theorem, for measuring open loop properties while preserving closed-loop bias conditions. Special IsSpice4 simulation algorithms invented by Intusoft, e.g., VSECTOL and ICSTEP, enable tough convergence on complex switching circuitry. Other features include an magnetics design and synthesis option, free custom modeling service, model building tools and a gamut of verification analyses such as Monte Carlo, worst case and extreme value.

Basic ICAP/4 Power Electronic Solution
The ICAP/4Rx Power Deluxe is a complete power electronic design-simulation solution that provides design entry, analog & mixed-signal simulation, debugging tools, 15,600+ simulation part models (no GFT models), model building tool, waveform viewing and 125 waveform processing functions for electronic designs that do not require advanced verification. Operating point information can be viewed directly on the schematic and new models can be imported and attached to a graphic shape for simulation.

More Advanced ICAP/4 Power Electronic Solution

ICAP/4Windows Power Deluxe adds advanced verification analyses, such as Monte Carlo, worst case, extreme value and root-summed squares parametric variation on power electronic designs. It also includes AC/DC & transient sensitivity analysis, noise and distortion analyses, plus interactive parametric variation and nested component sweeping. A full set of electrical measurements can be specified across the design, which is numerically charted after simulation, including pass/fail histogram and component stress alarms. The package furnishes 21,800+ simulation models, model building tools and library management tools.

Power Supply Designer adds a complete magnetic design and synthesis tool for the creation of inductors, transformers, coils, etc. The program predicts magnetizing and leakage inductance, inter-winding capacitance, peak flux density, DC and AC winding resistance, copper loss, core loss, weight, temperature rise, window fill percentage and more. It also accommodates change to 20+ design parameters such as temperature rise, window fill, number of turns, wire gauge and type, bobbin margins, number of parallel strands, gap length, layer insulation thickness,
wrapper thickness and end margin lengths.
