This moddel simulatess the diode tturn‐off proccess, and helps to o predict switching phen nomena caussed by the ddiode reversee recovery. In addition, a MOSFET m model with tturn‐on/turn n‐off switchi ng transientt is provided d. With this m model, mulate the sw witching tran nsient and de esign the ga te drive circcuit. one can sim The figure b below showss the simulatted waveforms of a diodde and MOSFFET. MOSFET volttage and current Diode current Page powersimtecch.com 1 www.p New Fea atures in PS SIM Version 10.0 New Multisine AC C Sweep Method A new ac sw weep method d based on tthe multisine e algorithm is provided. In most casses, this metthod gives faster results than n the previou us ac sweep method. Inductor Windingg and Core Loss Caalculation n The function n to calculatte inductor w winding and core losses is added to the Thermal Module. Based on nding the core typ pe and size, ccore materiaal, and winding selectionn, this functiion can calcu ulate the win and core lossses, as well as core tem mperature risse. This function gives a verry quick and convenientt way of estim mating magnetics lossess. Together w with the dule, one can n estimate tthe overall efficiency of aa power con nverter other functiions in the TThermal Mod system. Inductor core and bobbin Inducctor wire New Sup percapacitor Mode el and So olar Cell M Models baased on tthe EN50530 Standard d A supercapaacitor model is added to o the Renewable Energyy Module. Th his model sim mulates the charging and dischargin ng process off a supercap pacitor. It alsso takes into o account mu ultiple cells iin series and in parallel automatically. In addition, two solar ce ell models fo or crystalline e silicon and thin film, baased on the European Sttandard EN50530, arre added. Th he EN50530 Standard prrovides a staandard proceedure for tessting photovvoltaic inverters. Th hese two mo odels provide a way to m model the soolar generato or. IC Modells A list of PWM IC, driver IC, and othe er IC modelss are added tto the standard PSIM Eleement librarry, making it ve ery easy to simulate swittchmode power suppliess. The follow wing IC modeels are included: ‐ PWM ICs UC P C3823, UC3825, UC3842//3843, UC38844/3845, UC3846, UC3854, UC3872 2, UCC3806, UC U CC3817/381 18, UCC3895, UCC28070 ‐ MOSFET driv M vers IR21834 4, IRS21867, TC4423A/44424A/4425A A/4426A/442 27A/4428A ‐ 555 timer 5 Page powersimtecch.com 2 www.p New Fea atures in PS SIM Version 10.0 Multi‐Levvel Mode eling A multi‐leve el modeling cconcept is in ntroduced in n v10. This is based on th he need thatt different leevels of models are needed at d different stagges of the sim mulation. M Multi‐level mo odels are provided for resistor, inductor, caapacitor, diod de, MOSFETT, and PWM ICs. One cann easily chan nge from onee level of thee model to another w with just the e change of aa flag withou ut changing the schemattic, greatly ffacilitating th he simulation p process. The figure b below, for exxample, show ws the Level‐1 and Leve l ‐2 models o of an inductor. Level‐2 Level‐1 ey New Fe eatures aand Impro ovements Other Ke • Proje ect Function n for File Management The project funcction is proviided. This fu unction allow ws uses to orgaanize and maanage a project with all tthe schemattic files, grap phs, and documents, all iin one easilyy accessible environment. Th his function aalso makes iit very easy tto create a diffferent studyy with changges in the sch hematic or paraameters, and d compare w with the origiinal study. For e example, the e figure on the right sho ows a projectt of a pow wer factor correction circcuit based on n UC3854. Thhe original study is “UC3854 4_PFC”, and d a variation of the studyy is created as “UC3854 Rev1”. TThe schemattic files and the grap phs of each sstudy are listted. The UC3 3854 datash eet is also listed as part of the project.

For exxample, one e can have a network liceense with 5 users for PSSIM, 3 userrs for Motor Drive Modu ule, and 2 users for Digitaal Control M Module. This flexibility allows one to tailor the e network liccense to one e’s exact neeed. • Paraameter Swee ep with Multtiple Variable es Prevviously, only selected parameters can be swept aand only one parameterr can be sweept. In v10, any parame eters can be swept and m multiple parrameters can n be swept aat the same ttime. • n Suite Interrface Imprroved Design The interface of the Motor C Control Desiign Suite an d HEV Desiggn Suite is im mproved. No ow the ut parameterr dialog of th he Design Su uite is embeddded with th he schematicc itself, and by inpu chan nging input p parameters, the parame eter file is uppdated directly. • Printting Size Sele ection The function to sselect workssheet size is added. This allows the sschematic to o be printed prop perly on a vaariety of paper sizes. • Emb bedded Wave eform in Sch hematic A sim mulation waveform can be embedde ed in a schem matic. This aallows users to display kkey wave eforms toge ether with th he schematicc, making it eeasier for vissual inspectiion and docu umentation. The figure below w shows an aactive filter ccircuit with tthe load current and sou urce currentt wave eforms displlayed. • External Parame eters in C/DLLL Blocks In th his version, itt is possible to define a p parameter inn a parametter file, and u use this paraameter insid de a C block or DLL blockk directly. Th his makes it eeasier to bring a variablee value into the C/DLLL block, and d make the ccoding easier.
