Upcoming Events - APEC 2010
Powersim
Inc.
Powersim develops and markets leading simulation
and design tools for research and product development in power
supplies, motor drives, and power conversion and control systems.
Our mission
is to provide the finest analysis and design tools in the industry.
We strive to increase customers' efficiency and productivity by
delivering software that reduces the development cost and time-to-market,
and is robust, affordable, and easy and enjoyable to
use. PSIM® is a simulation software designed for power electronics,
motor control, and dynamic system simulation.
What's New
February 2010
New PSIM® Version 9.0.1:
Powersim is pleased to announce the release of a new PSIM Version, 9.0.1.
Two key new features of Version 9 are the TI-F28335 Hardware Target for the SimCoder Module and the new Renewable Energy Package.
With SimCoder and the TI-F28335 Hardware Target, one can simulate a system in PSIM first, then generate C code that is ready to run on DSP boards
that use TI's F28335 floating-point DSP.
The Renewable Energy Package includes the basic PSIM software, the Motor Drive Module, and necessary models and blocks
(such as solar cells, wind turbine, and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)) for solar power and wind power applications.
Numerous new features and improvements are also added in PSIM 9.0. For these who currently have
PSIM 8.0, please click

What our customers are saying about PSIM®
R. Beland - emd Technologies Inc.
"With PSIM, we can improve our power supply performance and increase reliability
because we can do virtual testing beyond what we could do in the real life, and
drastically reduce the time to market from design to the final product."
More...
G. Pace - LTI Power Systems (formerly O.E.M. Inc.)
"PSIM's ability to run at fast speed made
it very effective in all of OEM's projects. Additionally, PSIM's built-in code framework, along with its vast library of components, improves the efficiency
of the code OEM creates, saving significant development time."
More...
T. Lesster - SatCon Technology Corp.
"The ease of circuit entry, the speed of processing circuits,
and the flexibility to move between and join actual circuit elements and mathematical control models make PSIM an ideal tool for
"what if?" work. While its power components are generic in nature, PSIM provides the capability to focus on the parameters
of particular interest in a design."

Did you know that ...
With PSIM's interactive simulation capability, you can change parameter values and view voltages/currents in the
middle of a simulation. It is like having a virtual test bench running on your computer.
You can design and simulate digital power
supplies using PSIM's Digital Control Module. The digital control
can be implemented in either block diagram or custom C code.
PSIM has a built-in C compiler which allows
you to enter your own C code into PSIM without compiling. This makes
it very easy and flexible to implement your own function or control
methods.
You can use the Thermal Module to calculate
semiconductor device losses (conduction losses and switching losses)
based on the device information from manufacturers' datasheet.
