Control Designs from Specs

Starting from a specification, design quickly and visually the best control for your converter, with result feedback for both analog and digital controls.

Multi-Loop Control Structures

Both Average-Current Mode Control and Peak-Current Mode Control are supported in SmartCtrl, providing greater scope in design.

Solutions Map

Optimize your design using the solutions map. Navigate the cursor within a stable solutions space, which aids in your selection of the optimal design.

Analyze How Robust your Control is

Does your control remain stable when the input voltage changes? SmartCtrl’s Parametric Sweep feature allows you to carry out sensitivity analysis of every parameter of the plant, sensor and regulator.

Create and Edit your own Analytical Model

With the Equation Editor, you can customize your own analytical model for your specific converter. The design tools of SmartCtrl then help you to calculate the compensator required.

Analog and Digital Control are supplied

Design the control of your converter directly in the digital domain or, alternatively, transform an analog control to digital and then examine the effect of sample rate, digital delay, number of bits, etc.

Detailed Output Information

SmartCtrl provides detailed information about the designed compensator (resistor, capacitors or z-domain coefficients), and about the power stage and steady-state waveforms.

Reports can be generated automatically, and every plot can be exported efficiently (as an image or data points).
