Novel System-Level Simulators to Develop Virtual Prototype of Complex DC Fast Charging System Design

As DC fast charger (DCFC) demands are rapidly increasing, system-level simulations of such complex power electronic applications are going to be invaluable for virtual prototyping. Using a simulation tool that delivers first time-right design results is critical to shorten time to market while achieving maximum system performance. onsemi will demonstrate a state-of-art accurate simulation flow that deploys the novel Elite Power Simulator and the industry first Self-Service PLECS Model Generator with our EliteSiC module based 25kW fast DC charger reference design. In this webinar, onsemi will cover the following topics:

• – Introduce you to advantages of the simulation tools through simulation of an AC-DC active front end (or PFC) 3-phase line 6-pack boost stage and a DC-DC isolated dual active bridge in which the first generation of the EliteSiC 1200 V 10 mohm power module is deployed.
• – Analyze the impacts on the charger performances (such as losses, efficiency, junction temperature) on semiconductor process variation using the simulator’s corner model simulation capability.
• – Compare the simulation results with the measurements obtained from the actual boards to demonstrate accuracy of the simulation tools.
• – Redo the design and simulations using our latest M3S technology based half bridge EliteSiC power module and show you how efficiency can be improved.
