Abstract

In the last few years, design automation for multi-chip power modules (MCPMs) has become a trending research topic in the power electronics community. Many different re-search efforts have demonstrated the advantages of bringing Computer-Aided Design (CAD) flow into MCPMs design and optimization. Among these works, PowerSynth has shown to have the most complete and mature CAD design flow for MCPMs. This paper will go through some of the recent research and development in PowerSynth. Modeling and layout generation algorithm will be discussed in the paper. The most recent results for 3D layout generation and optimization are also discussed and demonstrated.
