PSIM Version 9.1 Available


5 Good Reasons to Upgrade to PSIM 9.1
>> All New Features
1. TI F28335 Target
The new version of PSIM provides major improvements in supporting TI floating-point DSP F28335 through real-time waveform display, and support of SCI (serial communication interface) and SPI (serial peripheral interface) functions.

  • Real-Time DSP Waveform Display
    With SCI and the new DSP Oscilloscope utility tool, PSIM offers the capability to display waveforms and change parameters inside the DSP in real time. This makes it extremely easy to test, debug, and adjust DSP code in a non-disruptive and non-intrusive way.
  • Support of SCI
    SCI functions are supported. Blocks to configure SCI ports and define SCI inputs and outputs are provided. With the SCI function blocks, data communications between DSP and computer can be easily defined. Together with the DSP Oscilloscope, SCI provides the capability to monitor DSP waveforms in real time.
  • Support of SPI
    The task of SPI implementation is non-trivial due to the complexity involved. However, with the SPI function blocks provided in PSIM, the implementation is greatly simplified as it can be done at the schematic level.

2. ModCoupler Module
The ModCoupler Module provides the link for co-simulation between PSIM and ModelSim for VHDL code support. With this Module, the power circuit can be implemented in PSIM, and the control circuit in VHDL code, which can then be simulated by ModelSim, for hardware implementation in FPGA. This Module provides a very quick way to go from conceptual validation in PSIM to hardware implementation in a FPGA hardware.

3. Motor Drive Module
Models for 4-phase and 5-phase switched reluctance machines, with both linear and nonlinear characteristics, are provided.


Numerous new features and improvements are also added in PSIM 9.1. For these who currently have PSIM 9.0, please click here for the highlights of version 9.1 as compared to 9.0.
4. PSIM
  • Displaying All Voltages and Currents
    In previous PSIM versions, circuit voltages/currents will only be saved to the output file for display if users specifically request them (by using voltage/current probes or setting display flags). In this release, an option is provided to save all voltages and currents of a circuit automatically. After the simulation is complete, one can view any voltages or currents by clicking on a node or on top of an element.
  • Temperature-dependent Rdson of MOSFET
    The on-resistance Rdson of MOSET devices can be defined so that it is a function of the junction temperature.
  • Relay Models
    New models are provided to simulate the behavior of relays. Two models are provided for the relay with one with 1 normally open switch and 1 normally closed switch: one with two separate switches and the other with switch changeover.
  • 3-phase Transformer with Saturation
    A model for 3-phase transformer with saturation is added. It can take into account not only saturation, but also residual flux as well.
  • 3-phase AC Cable
    A model is provided for 3-phase ac cables. It takes into account inductive coupling and capacitances between phases. The image of the ac cable is shown below.
  • New image Editor for Subcircuit and New Elements
    A new image editor is provided to create images for subcircuits or new elements. The image editor allows one to create consistent and high-quality images quickly and conveniently.


5. SmartCtrl Tool
A number of enhancement is incorporated in SmartCtrl, as shown below.

  • Transient Time-Domain Response
    Previously, transient time-domain response is provided for single-loop structure only. In this release, the transient response is provided to all structures, including double-loop and in the case where the transfer function of the plant is imported from ac sweep data.
  • Improved Design for Power Factor Correction Circuit
    The way the controllers are designed is improved for better results.
  • Improved Modeling for PWM Generator
    The way the PWM generator is modeled is improved. The improved version provides duty cycle limit and behaviors more closely with manufacturer PWM IC's.
