Meeting the demands of higher efficiency or more compact design with increased power density, while ensuring short time-to-market and meeting cost targets are but a few of the challenges facing power electronic developers.

They have to select the right components in a market with huge product diversity. This is where SemiSel comes in, an efficient selection tool that will help product developers make the right decisions.

SemiSel remains the most comprehensive free tool of its kind and can be used to investigate different power electronic circuits under different operating conditions – and provides a good balance between user-friendliness, complex functions, and speed.

SEMIKRON‘s simulation tool

So if it is ever asked: “Are the right power semiconductors selected?”, one should now check out SemiSel - SEMIKRON‘s simulation tool for losses and temperatures, the perfect aid to help select the right power semiconductors for the specific needs of an  application.

With SemiSel, all SEMIKRON products can be simulated completely anonymously and without registration. After registration, however, SemiSel unfolds its true capabilities. Beyond basic functions like saving simulation results or loading simulations from a previous session, there is so much more in store!

The new export feature means simulations can be shared with colleagues or customers, for example. Device parameters can be changed to allow investigating switching losses for different gate resistors or the influence of maximum forward voltage.
