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
