Help Us Help You With Power Electronics Design Challenges |

|
|
As a designer in power electronics, we know you are facing challenges as you enter the high-speed era. Layout parasitics combined with di/dt greater than 1A per nanosecond give unwanted voltage spikes. Simulation tools can help design these out. Please help us build the next generation of tools, by completing our short (5 questions and 3 minutes) survey. Thank you! |
