A vehicle's power electronic components, coupled with the overall power management and control system, introduces a new set of challenges for electrical system design. These power electronic components include: energy storage devices (such as batteries, ultracapacitors), DC/DC converters, inverters, and drives. SaberRD, the latest addition to the Synopsys® automotive product portfolio, is designed for modeling and simulating power electronics with a focus on addressing the challenges of integrated power system design and validation.
