SmartCtrl designs and optimizes the control stage of power converters. It supports analog and digital control users of all levels, cutting development time with predefined topologies, system-frequency-response import, and a powerful Equation Editor for the transfer function. It helps tune stability and bandwidth and integrates with Altair PSIM, enabling easy export of designs to PSIM for simulation.
Features control design for user-defined converters or predefined topologies: Buck, Boost, Flyback, Forward, Phase Shifted Full-Bridge, and/or Dual Active Bridge.
Users can define and incorporate their own customized compensator into designs, sensor, and plant transfer functions – in both in S, Z, or a multidomain combination.
Lets users get the frequency response of power converters from a simulator (such as PSIM) or from a frequency analyzer and import it to SmartCtrl.
Interactive plots and solutions map allow users to define the best control design, while waveforms, bodes, Nyquist, and all output data are updated in real- time.
Audio-susceptibility and input-output impedances are shown, sensibility analysis is available, and compensators can be designed flexibly (e.g. with K and Kplus).
To ensure EMC compliance for aircraft and grid applications, SmartCtrl offers predefined Boost PFC topologies and automated loop design. It provides detailed frequency and transient response analytics, with results easily exported to PSIM for simulation.
