ADS: How to Accelerate SMPS Workflow with a Power Device Reference Design

A “virtual reference design“ (a “digital twin“ of a power device vendor’s physical reference design) let’s you quickly and easily explore & optimize design tradeoffs. This video showcases the importance of abandoning legacy cut-and-test design approaches and instead employing a field solver to extract layout parasitics into an EM-based model with an easy user-friendly solution to create a digital twin. Designers of switched mode power supplies, especially high di/dt high performance power supplies, suffer from voltage spikes and EMI failure. This solution helps overcome these issues.
