Double Data Rate Memory (DDR) – Keysight

Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Performance Test Bench

The new SMPS Performance Test Bench:

  • Enables designers to run a series of simulated tests, either in a schematic design environment for a schematic-only type simulation or in the PEPro environment for a post-layout type simulation which includes the layout parasitics
  • Offers a transient recovery test which enables designers to gain insight into the behavior of designs under various loading conditions

Power Electronics Model Builder (PEMB)

The PEMB:

  • Enables the designer to build custom models for Si and SiC switching devices
  • Builds models directly from digitizing the IV and CV curves from the vendor datasheet 
  • Fits digitized data using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in the model creation process
