A world leader in aircraft fuel systems has developed its next-generation of sensorless, brushless DC motor-driven fuel pumps using the Saber simulator.
Simulator supports VHDL-AMS modelling
Synopsys has qualified VDA VHDL-AMS models to run on the Saber simulator for use by automotive OEMs and suppliers.
"Our system is unique because power is transferred wirelessly between the Splashpower charging base and the portable electronic device thus eliminating all need for power cables".
"Our engineers were impressed by the Saber simulator's ability to handle multiple feedback paths and complex electromagnetic coupling found in our power conversion and transmission system", said Bill Campbell, CEO at Splashpower.
"Modelling and simulating such complexity requires advanced mixed-signal language and analysis capabilities".
"The Saber simulator solution provides the technology we need to simulate, prototype and verify our emerging products".
With the Saber simulator, Splashpower modelled the analogue, digital, and magnetic domains of their system utilising high-level description languages.
The Saber simulator's capabilities allowed Splashpower to create and test virtual prototypes of their system, completing their analysis and testing in a fraction of the time required for traditional hardware prototyping.
"The Saber simulator easily models and simulates complex multi-domain environments making it a natural choice by the Splashpower development team", said Mick O'Brien, Vice President and General Manager of the Saber product line at Synopsys.
"Splashpower's requirements clearly demonstrate the complexity our customers are addressing while developing next generation consumer electronics products and our ability to meet those demands".
