Docea Enables Dynamic Power and Thermal Management Analysis with Real Use Cases
Docea Power, Inc. announced new releases of Aceplorer 3.1 and AceThermalModeler 2.0. Aceplorer 3.1 features a new solver for coupled power and thermal transient simulations featuring 1000x performance gains over the previous versions and a communication protocol enabling the co-simulation of Aceplorer models with virtual platforms and performance analysis tools. AceThermalModeler 2.0 (ATM) improves its usability.

Aceplorer is Docea Power’s system-level power and thermal modeling and simulation software for early architecture exploration, architecture validation and power budget tracking. AceThermalModeler generates compact thermal models for System on Chips (SoCs), 3D ICs, Systems in Package (SiPs) or complete boards.
“With the combination of higher power density and smaller form factors, the limit of what current packaging solutions can dissipate is being reached for many devices. A high junction temperature or a high case temperature can quickly limit access to full performance and hamper the user’s experience,” noted Ghislain Kaiser, Docea Power CEO. “Our latest releases, give systems architects better tools to optimize their design and support a collaborative framework among system architects, packaging designers, thermal experts, software developers and SoC designers.”

Aceplorer 3.1 features a fast solver for coupled power and thermal simulations with 1000x performance gains over the previous version. It also features a communication protocol for 3rd party tools that enables co-simulation with timed virtual platforms or performance analysis tools. Co-simulation of timed virtual platforms and Aceplorer models allow users to simulate dynamic power and thermal management strategies using real use cases where simulation duration ranges from a few seconds to tens of minutes.
Docea’s dynamic power and thermal management simulations allow system architects to scale the operating point in the performance model with power and temperature feedback provided by Aceplorer’s virtual power model during simulation.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
