7. PowerEsim vs Traditional Design PowerEsim turn design into result oriented adaptive iteration instead of skill of knowledge application

8. Start a design – Design from Reference • Find a circuit that has closest specification to your need, e.g. 160W TDA4863 for PFC front end.

9. Reference design will be loaded • Reference design will be loaded within a few seconds • No need to read application notes • Change component for your own requirements

10. Remember, it’s other people design . . . As in a real bench, change Vo by changing feedback resistor to suit for your own output voltage requirement

11. Or click the main MOSFET • Select other component for cost or performance reasons.

12. Re-define specification • Click “Detail Spec.” • Change specification as you like

13. Start a design - Ask our expert • Enter the simple input & output specification • Chose an application • Click “Recommend Design”

15. Start a design - more freedom • Click “Topologies” • Chose the topology you like • Then chose for PWM controller too

16. Chose a PWM controller circuit • Double click the PWM block • Select the PWM controller • Another PWM circuit will appear

17. Finally . . . Enter the input and output specification then click “Initialize Design”

18. Preliminary design will be initialized • Preliminary design of real components will be initialized within a few seconds • A virtual power supply is on the your bench • Click LosseSIM

19. Losses and it’s details • Loss Analysis – the first page to click • It give total losses at a practical operating condition • It also shows losses breakdown at each component

20. Losses and operating conditions From To Vin 85 V 240 V Io 3.75 A 2 A Pd 14.7 W 7.7 W

22. Change the range • Extend the range can select more suitable components • Choose different Manufacturer can refine the list too

23. Click, click, click and select • A particular one – total & individual loss • Highlighted one – total, individual loss and stress • Selected one – total individual loss and stress

24. Other than loss, Stress is important

25. How we model component?

26. Features are same for all component

27. More clever method – Smart Optimizer Click “Select All” All MOSFET will dump into a optimizer pool

28. Smart Optimizer – just a click • Enter maximum iterations • Wait a few seconds • Click “Smart Optimizer”

29. Multi dimensional optimization 10 resistor 1 x 10 MOSFET 2 x : : x 10 10 diode = 1010 combination = 31 years simulation
