SmartCtrl - Control Design Software for Power Electronics
The easiest and fastest way to design the control of your power converter
With a perfect combination of predefined topologies and compensators and a custom design with a powerful equation editor that lets you create your own transfer functions for all the power converter elements: plant, sensor and compensator. Import your system frequency response and export your final control design to PSIM: stay connected.
Control Designs from Specs
Starting from a specification, design quickly and visually the best control for your converter, with result feedback for both analog and digital controls.
Multi-Loop Control Structures
Both Average-Current Mode Control and Peak-Current Mode Control are supported in SmartCtrl, providing greater scope in design.
Solutions Map
Optimize your design using the solutions map. Navigate the cursor within a stable solutions space, which aids in your selection of the optimal design.
Analyze How Robust your Control is
Does your control remain stable when the input voltage changes? SmartCtrl’s Parametric Sweep feature allows you to carry out sensitivity analysis of every parameter of the plant, sensor and regulator.
Create and Edit your own Analytical Model
With the Equation Editor, you can customize your own analytical model for your specific converter. The design tools of SmartCtrl then help you to calculate the compensator required.
Analog and Digital Control are supplied
Design the control of your converter directly in the digital domain or, alternatively, transform an analog control to digital and then examine the effect of sample rate, digital delay, number of bits, etc.
Detailed Output Information
SmartCtrl provides detailed information about the designed compensator (resistor, capacitors or z-domain coefficients), and about the power stage and steady-state waveforms.
Reports can be generated automatically, and every plot can be exported efficiently (as an image or data points).
SMARTNETICS - A SINGLE MAGNETIC DESIGN TOOL FOR ALL
Speed up your magnetic design in 3 steps
Discover a new tool for the design of medium power and high frequency magnetic components.
Can perform an exhaustive and complete analysis that allows you to obtain the design that suits all your needs and specifications without requiring advanced knowledge of the field.
Versatile
A single design tool for every need:
- For expert users: every parameter is configurable, from models and limitations to result visualization.
- For non-expert users: the standard configuration allows the device’s design with the minimum input data.
Intuitive Interface
- Just five guided steps for the full design.
- Select up to six figures of merit and compare thousands of designs immediately.
Scalable
From low to high power in a single tool:
- Cores can be stacked, allowing a wide range from less than a watt to kilowatts.
- Temperature can be limited to ensure continuous operation at high loads.
Complete Database
A wide range of options for:
- Core geometry.
- Core materials.
- Wire geometry.
- Electrical insulators.
- Connectors.
Gap Distributions
- Standard gaping: same single gap for every leg
- Concentrated gap: a single gap in one of the legs.
- Distributed gap: a gap distributed into several smaller gaps.
FEM Simulation
Automatically generated by SmartNetics:
- Full 3D model: including core, insulators, and wires without geometry simplifications
- Symmetry simplifications: simulation can be speed up taking advantage of core symmetries while maintaining 3D accuracy.
- Model reduction: 2D model built from the 3D one, for fastest simulations.
- Magnetic, electrostatic, and thermal simulations.
Manufacturing Report
- Not a black-box design: every parameter is provided.
- All the information in a single high-quality pdf document. Seamless data transfer for designers and manufacturers.
