What is the difference between SIMetrix and simplis?

SIMetrix is a SPICE based tool for general analog circuit simulation, while SIMPLIS is a specific tool for the fast power supply simulation by modelling devices using a series of straightline segments rather than solving non-linear equations as SPICE does and all the MPS ICs models are created using SIMPLIS.

How does SIMetrix measure current?

Random Current Probing

1. Select the schematic menu item Probe ▶ Current…
2. Using the mouse, place the cursor at the device pin whose current you wish to plot.
3. Press the left mouse button. A graph of the current at that point will be created.

How do you run simplis simulation?

To start a simulation in normal (synchronous) mode, use the Simulator | Run menu, press the F9 key or press the Run button on the Choose Analysis Dialog box shown above. A dialog box will show the status of the simulation.

Is SIMetrix free?

SIMetrix/SIMPLIS Elements is a free-to-download version of our software that offers full schematic capture and waveform viewing/analysis capability along with a host of documentation and training materials designed to help users get up-to-speed quickly with SIMetrix/SIMPLIS’ simulation capabilities.

How do I run SIMetrix simulation?

SIMetrix

1. Select the Simulator ▶ Run Schematic menu item.
2. Press F9.
3. Click the Run button in the Simulator ▶ Choose Analysis… dialog box.
4. Click on the play button.

How do I add a model to SIMetrix?

Installing the Model in SIMetrix

1. Start SIMetrix if you haven’t already.
2. In Windows, navigate to the folder with your saved SPICE model file.
3. Drag and drop the file onto the SIMetrix command shell window.
4. You will now see a message asking you to confirm that you would like to install the file.

How do I add spices to SIMetrix?

How do you simulate IGBT in LTspice?

You can use LTspice’s NIGBT or PIGBT schematic symbol with it. Right-click on the symbol and change Prefix from “Z” to “X”. The pin-order is C-G-E, which works with the Ixys (Littelfuse) model I downloaded. If you need to model one particular IGBT device and all you have is a datasheet, then good luck.

How do I convert my pspice model to LTspice?

There is no conversion needed….SUBCKT statement).

1. Open the netlist file that contains the subcircuit definitions in LTspice (File > Open or drag file into LTspice)
2. Right-click the line containing the name of the subcircuit, and select Create Symbol:
3. Create Symbol: Edit the symbol if needed and save.

What are applications of IGBT?

IGBTs are widely used as switching devices in the inverter circuit (for DC-to-AC conversion) for driving small to large motors. IGBTs for inverter applications are used in home appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators, industrial motors, and automotive main motor controllers to improve their efficiency.

What type of device is IGBT?

IGBT stands for insulated-gate bipolar transistor. It is a bipolar transistor with an insulated gate terminal. The IGBT combines, in a single device, a control input with a MOS structure and a bipolar power transistor that acts as an output switch. IGBTs are suitable for high-voltage, high-current applications.
