Splashpower Models with Synopsys’ Saber Simulator
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS) announced that Splashpower, a U.K. innovator in wireless systems design, has chosen Synopsys’ Saber(R) mixed-signal, multi-domain simulator to develop its wireless charging system targeted for portable consumer electronics devices. Splashpower engineers chose the Saber simulator solution because of its ability to easily model and simulate the complex electro-magnetic environment of their advanced wireless power transmission system.
“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 electro-magnetic coupling found in our power conversion and transmission system,” said Bill Campbell, CEO at Splashpower. “Modeling 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 modeled the analog, digital, and magnetic domains of their system utilizing 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.”
About Saber Simulator
The Saber simulator is a powerful modeling and simulation environment used to simulate, analyze and verify system interactions between multiple physical domains (electrical, magnetic, mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, etc.).
