ROHM Develops a Resonant PFC of New Topology with Model-Based Design
“Using MATLAB, Simulink, and Model-Based Design enabled us to quickly perform pre-verification at a high level of abstraction, detailed circuit design, and verification at the actual device level for the entire system.”
Key Outcomes
- Front-loading development with Model-Based Design
- Actual circuit design with Simscape Electrical
- Ability to invest time on what they really need—trial and error of their ideas
ROHM provides LSI, discrete, and electric parts with high quality and reliability.
In developing a resonance PFC circuit with a new topology for an AC-DC converter, there were hurdles such as design specific to an AC-DC converter that handles high voltage and verification on the actual device. The team used Model-Based Design with MATLAB® and Simulink® to perform verification at each stage of development. Front-loading the verification steps reduced the overall design and verification effort.
With Simscape Electrical™ the team was able to design just like a real circuit, so they could quickly perform unit and integrated tests under various conditions at the device level.
