For system integrators and OEMs, the DPT capability supports device selection and optimisation based on measured operating behaviour rather than static datasheet values. By improving system‑level modelling accuracy, the service enables tighter design margins and faster convergence on power electronic architectures optimised for efficiency, thermal performance and long‑term reliability.
The service automates the extraction of key dynamic switching parameters directly from measured waveforms, including switching energy losses, switching speeds and reverse recovery characteristics. This allows fast, consistent and scalable performance evaluation across hundreds to thousands of operating points, addressing the increasing need for statistically robust switching data.
CSA Catapult’s DPT service supports accurate modelling of switching losses at scale, validation under high current, high voltage and thermally stressed conditions, and optimisation of power electronics for efficiency, cooling and power density, where even incremental efficiency gains can have a material impact on energy consumption and operating costs.
