Infineon IPOSIM Platform Launches Service Life Assessment of Power Devices

     The power device online simulation platform IPOSIM of Infineon Technology Co., Ltd. is widely used to calculate the loss and thermal performance of power modules, discrete devices and flat devices. The platform can easily analyze single work point and user-defined load curve. It is more and more important for customers in the industrial field to evaluate the service life of power modules at the early stage of power electronic system design. This presents challenges for small and medium-sized enterprises because they often lack the resources needed to implement appropriate simulations. In order to provide support for these enterprises, Infineon's IPOSIM platform has introduced a new advanced function, which is an automated service that can quickly evaluate the service life of devices according to design parameters and application requirements.

     The IPOSIM Life Time Estimation service of Infineon's IPOSIM platform supports online acquisition of device life assessment algorithms and Infineon's unique expertise to simplify the design process, which is the first in the industry. During the design process, customers can access Infineon's power electronics expertise online at any time as needed.

     The IPOSIM platform has a user-friendly GUI (graphical user interface) design, which can guide designers to complete the simulation of power devices step by step. The platform has 19 types of flat panel devices and module topologies available, and is grouped according to the power conversion mode. In addition, the IPOSIM platform also allows up to 5 Infineon products to be selected at a time for performance comparison. The completed design can be saved and shared through Deep Link technology.

     Relying on these functions, the IPOSIM platform can help customers choose the most appropriate high-power products according to their application needs. It can also shorten the time required to evaluate the device service life and reduce the total development cost. In addition, the service life assessment of power devices provided by it can optimize product size, reduce BOM (bill of materials) costs, and speed up the product's launch by virtue of highly reliable simulation results.
