Wide-Bandgap Power Electronics Circuit Simulation
Brochures
The Power Electronics (PE) market is experiencing rapid expansion, driven by multiple applications such as automotive Hybrid-Electric and Electric Vehicles (HEV/EV), alternative energy sources like solar and wind power generation, and data centers fueled by cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI) proliferation. All of these applications are mission-critical and therefore require accurate and reliable simulation when designing and developing PE products and systems.
To enhance efficiency (e.g., extended range for EVs) and achieve high power in more compact, lighter, and cooler (less heat) packages, the PE industry and manufacturers are transitioning their power conversion designs to Wide Bandgap (WBG) devices, such as Silicon-Carbide (SiC) and Gallium-Nitride (GaN). While WBG devices are crucial for improving efficiency and power density, they also bring about challenges for circuit design and simulation due to their fast operation speeds. Ensuring the reliability and safety of these innovative designs also remains a substantial concern.
Only Keysight’s power device measurement system for advanced modeling allows you to eliminate design cycles by creating real-world models resulting in simulations you can trust.
