Although we were saddened to hear about the cancelation of the in-person conference, we support the decision to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Just like the organizers, SIMPLIS has created virtual presentations that cover, in-depth, the topics in our Exhibitor Seminar.  The seminar, in the form of webinars, will be on the topic of Using the SIMPLIS Magnetic Design Module in an LLC application with Digital Control using the SIMPLIS C-code DLL feature. Abstract: SIMPLIS Magnetics Design Module is used to analyze the performance of both the… Read more

SIMPLIS Technologies attended APEC 2019 in Anaheim, CA on March 17-21, 2019. Our Exhibitor Seminar was held on Tuesday, March 19th from 2:15-2:45PM in Room 212AB where John Wilson and Andrija Stupar presented on the topic of "SIMPLIS Magnetic Design Module and User C-code DLL Defined Digital Device": A digitally controlled PFC boost converter is modeled in SIMPLIS with the control algorithm defined by a user-generated C-code DLL. Placed on the schematic like any other SIMPLIS component, the device behavior is defined by C or C++ code rather than by logic gates and other digital circuit… Read more

SIMPLIS Technologies attended APEC 2017 in Tampa, FL on March 26-30, 2017. We were at Booth #1223 on the Main Exhibition Hall Floor. Our Exhibitor Seminar was held on Tuesday, March 28th from 2:15-2:45PM in Room 22 where Christopher Bridge and Tom Wilson presented on the topic of "Performing AC Analyses on PFC Converters": Because the SIMPLIS Periodic Operating Point (POP) & AC analyses are performed at a single operating frequency, performing AC analyses on time-domain simulation models of PFC converters is challenging, since the circuit typically has no true steady-state when the… Read more

SIMPLIS Technologies is pleased to announce that we have released version 8.1 of SIMetrix/SIMPLIS.  Below is the breakdown of the major changes. New Features for Both SIMetrix and SIMPLIS Arbitrary Fixed Probe A new customisable fixed probe is now available. This is an arbitrary fixed probe which can plot an expression of any combination of node voltages and device currents. With the new probe you enter an expression relating any combination of voltages and currents. A symbol for the probe is then automatically created which can be placed on the schematic in the usual way.… Read more
