ROHM's Cutting-Edge Web Simulation Tool Capable of Complete circuit Verification for Power Devices and ICs - Seite 2

The simulator was developed to work with the SystemVision Cloud simulation platform from Mentor, a Siemens business, a leader in electronic design automation software with an extensive track record in the automotive and industrial equipment industry. As a result, users with an SVC account can also perform verification in a more realistic environment by incorporating simulation data executed by the ROHM Solution Simulator into their own SVC workspace.

”ROHM is committed to reducing customer development time and costs by providing a comprehensive online solution built using SystemVision, a multi-domain cloud-based platform,” said Darrell Teegarden, Product Manager for SystemVision Cloud at Mentor, a Siemens business. “By focusing on maintaining and enhancing device models and reference circuits that operate in the SystemVision Cloud environment, ROHM can further contribute to solving customer issues.”

ROHM Solution Simulator can be used free of charge by simply registering on ROHM’s official website. In addition to the simulator, the following dedicated page provides access to documents required for use.

ROHM will continue to contribute to reducing application development efforts by adding solution circuits and products compatible with ROHM Solution Simulator and providing some Solutions EVKs (evaluation kits) capable of evaluating simulated circuits as-is. 

 

Key Features of ROHM Solution Simulator

1. Enables complete circuit verification of power devices and ICs using a solution circuit close to the actual application environment

ROHM Solution Simulator is the cutting-edge web-based simulator capable of verifying power devices and ICs at the same time, making it possible to quickly and easily validate ICs (i.e. power supply and driver ICs), along with power devices (such as ROHM’s SiC and IGBT products) under close to actual conditions. This allows users to perform simultaneous simulation of characteristics that cannot be seen with the device alone, but includes peripheral circuits as well, significantly reducing application development efforts.

44 solution circuits are currently available; with additional solution circuits to follow that expand the range of applicable power supply and LED driver ICs. ROHM is also planning to release models for thermal simulation in the near future.

2. Simulation data can be transferred to the user’s own development environment

ROHM Solution Simulator was developed to work with the SystemVision Cloud (SVC) simulation platform from Mentor. Existing SVC users and those with newly registered SVC accounts can incorporate simulation data executed in ROHM Solution Simulator into their own SVC environment (workspace) to perform verification of system circuits under conditions close to actual use (including customizations).
