SIMetrix/SIMPLIS is a circuit simulation suite optimized for the design and development of electronic power systems. SIMetrix/SIMPLIS comprises the SIMetrix environment with the revolutionary SIMPLIS simulator from SIMPLIS Technologies.
New The SIMetrix/SIMPLIS simulation engines, are now integrated into the Altium Designer environment. More information
"As a piece of software it is TOP CLASS. The product is robust. It's user friendly. It has few if any idiosyncrasies. All the messages/user interactions involve INTELLIGENTLY thought out prompts. As an engineering tool it is outstanding."
10 to 50 times faster than SPICE - SIMPLIS is a component level simulator like SPICE but simulates power switching circuits typically 10 to 50 times faster.
POP analysis rapidly locates the steady state operating point of a switching system without having to simulate the startup transient conditions. This considerably speeds the study of effects such as load transients.
Unlike the static methods used in SPICE, this analysis mode emulates a frequency sweep measurement as might be conducted on real hardware producing gain and phase plots without having to derive averaged models.
SPICE models for MOSFETs, diodes, zener diodes and bipolar transistors may be converted to SIMPLIS format without requiring user intervention.
The SIMPLIS simulator works in the SIMetrix environment in exactly the same way as its native SPICE simulator. This includes full schematic support, schematic cross probing and all waveform viewer features.
Can use SPICE models for power MOSFETs, diodes, zener diodes and bipolar transistors.
SIMPLIS has been available since 1991 on the UNIX platform and so has stood the test of time.
