Analyze How Robust your Control is
Does your control remain stable when the input voltage changes? SmartCtrl’s Parametric Sweep feature allows you to carry out sensitivity analysis of every parameter of the plant, sensor and regulator.
Create and Edit your own Analytical Model
With the Equation Editor, you can customize your own analytical model for your specific converter. The design tools of SmartCtrl then help you to calculate the compensator required.
Analog and Digital Control are supplied
Design the control of your converter directly in the digital domain or, alternatively, transform an analog control to digital and then examine the effect of sample rate, digital delay, number of bits, etc.
Detailed Output Information
SmartCtrl provides detailed information about the designed compensator (resistor, capacitors or z-domain coefficients), and about the power stage and steady-state waveforms.
Reports can be generated automatically, and every plot can be exported efficiently (as an image or data points).
Solutions Map
Optimize your design using the solutions map. Navigate the cursor within a stable solutions space, which aids in your selection of the optimal design.
Control Designs from Specs
Starting from a specification, design quickly and visually the best control for your converter, with result feedback for both analog and digital controls
Multi-Loop Control Structures
Both Average-Current Mode Control and Peak-Current Mode Control are supported in SmartCtrl, providing greater scope in design.
Electronic Circuit Simulator Integrated
Simulate the final design with a single click.
​
SmartCtrl is seamlessly integrated with the PSIM simulator. SmartCtrl automatically generates a ready-to-simulate PSIM schematic, containing the complete circuit, including the power stage and the control circuit.
​
With just one click, one can export the entire circuit and simulate it.
