CONVERTERS SUPPORTED:
- DC/DC converters
- AC/DC converters, including PFC converters
- DC/AC inverters
- AC/AC converters
- Resonant converters
- Other types of converters
KEY FEATURES:
- Easy user interface
- Automatic controller design and optimization
- Seamless integration with PSIM
- Support of Various Power Converters
SmartCtrl supports various power converters, including buck, boost, buck-boost (including power factor correction), flyback, and forward converters. In addition, arbitrary converters can be represented and the regulator designed using the frequency response data from experiments or from software such as PSIM.
- Solution Map for Easy Controller Design
Based on specific operating conditions, SmartCtrl automatically generates a Solution Map that defines the safe region for the controller. The Solution Map makes it very easy for users to choose the crossover frequency and the phase margin.
- Multi-Loop Control Structure
The control loop structure can be either a single voltage/current loop, or multiple loops with inner current loop and outer voltage loop. In particular, the double-loop controller design is made easy with SmartCtrl.
- Easy Visualization of Control Loop Stability and Performance
Bode plots and Nyquist plots of the plant, controllers, open-loop and closed-loop transfer functions can be displayed in SmartCtrl, allowing easy inspection and visualization of control loop stability. In addition, time-domain transient response can also be evaluated and displayed.
- Sensitivity Analysis
One can vary converter parameters, sensor gains, and controller parameters, and see in real time how the changes affect the control loop stability and performance.
