TwisterSIM considerably reduces the cost and time needed to select and validate a product for a specific application layout by performing a thermal-electrical dynamic simulation.
Key features include:
- Built-in library of accurate VIPower-product models based on a proprietary methodology and validation that allows a realistic reproduction of ‘in application’ behaviour;
- Step-by-step guided selection of the optimal device for a specific application;
- Built-in load library for automotive lamps and generic loads;
- Simulation results, including junction thermal profiles, load current and diagnostic behaviour, are shown on dedicated scope views and can be exported in multiple commonly-used formats;
- User selectable wide range of environmental conditions and real device parameters;
- Direct links to the product web page to view related datasheet and product collaterals; and
- On-line forum available at www.st.com/twistersim-forum.
The TwisterSIM tool can be downloaded free of charge from the ST website.
