Power IC Model Library for Cadence PSpice Expanded in New Release.ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- EMA (1) (Enterprise Management Architecture) An earlier strategic plan from Digital for integrating network, system and application management. It provided the operating environment for managing a multi-vendor network. Design Automation([TM])(www.ema-eda.com), a full-service provider of Electronic Design Automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) solutions, and AEi Systems, a world leader in power electronics modeling and analysis, today announced the release of version 2.0b of AEi Systems' Power IC Model Library for the Cadence([R]) PSpice([R]) simulator. Version 2.0b has over 200 time-domain simulation models for power electronic designs. Several previously unavailable Texas Instruments (TI) models debut in version 2.0b, and future updates are anticipated to focus on many of TI's newest and most popular components. The Power IC Model Library includes model netlists in PSpice syntax, schematic symbols for both Cadence OrCAD([R]) Capture and legacy schematics, and a set of example application circuits for many of the IC models. The models are compatible with all past versions of the PSpice simulator, as well as the latest OrCAD Capture version 9.x, 10.x, and 16.0 software. The price of version 2.0b of the library is $1,995, plus yearly maintenance of $495.00. Important breakthroughs for power engineers "The Power IC Model Library for PSpice contains parts that are simply not available from any other EDA company," said Manny Manny may refer to: In nobility:
"Many EDA vendors only have access to information in the manufacturer data sheets. This is simply not sufficient to create a precise model of a controller or regulator," stated Charles Hymowitz, Managing Director of AEi Systems. "Data sheets simply do not have the level of detail required, so those companies who rely solely on data sheet input will produce substandard and inaccurate models." "The Power IC Model Library is an important addition to a PSpice simulation environment. This library makes the PSpice simulator even more compelling for engineers in the power supply market. EMA has a skilled team of SPICE experts, making them the perfect partner for us," stated Hymowitz. Some of the Power IC Model Library's newly-added models incorporate recent PSpice built-in component and building block advances. These advances allow models to take full advantage of new PSpice capabilities including increasing speed for simulating math equations and "if-then-else" constructs that are used throughout the model library. This improvement results in speed increases of 10 to 40% for power supply simulations. Complex models, verified with bench data SMPS SMPS Society for Marketing Professional Services SMPS Switching Mode Power Supply SMPS Switched Mode Power Supply applications are more demanding than ever. Today's designs require increases in power IC functionality, switching frequency, and system interaction. State space based models simply do not reveal many important nonlinear factors that influence these performance characteristics. The models in the Power IC Model Library enable designers to perform high-speed, cycle-by-cycle simulations to show true large-signal performance, simulate current-mode control using the latest accurate modeling techniques, run CCM CCM Contemporary Christian Music CCM Critical Care Medicine CCM County College of Morris (New Jersey) CCM Chama Cha Mapinduzi (political party, Tanzania) CCM CORBA Component Model and DCM DCM abbr.

The models in the Power IC Model Library are compared and verified with bench data under startup, steady state, line, and load transient conditions. Nonlinear characteristics such as propagation delay, switching speed, drive capability, maximum duty cycle/current limits, and startup phenomena are all accurately modeled. Designers can directly compare the performance of components from various vendors and analyze the effects of different implementations such as peak current mode control, hysteric hys·ter·ic n. 1.
