I came across Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation's Online Circuit Simulator and found it interesting from an engineering and semiconductor-industry perspective. It is a browser-based resource for people working in power electronics, semiconductor applications, motor drives, and electronic product development.
The simulator's circuit simulation capabilities are: Simulate AC-DC and DC-DC power supply circuits; explore different circuit topologies and MOSFET selections; evaluate waveforms, power losses and power conversion efficiency.
The simulator's thermal simulation capabilities are: Evaluate MOSFET thermal characteristics; explore the impact of PCB size, MOSFET placement and heatsink configuration; analyse temperature distribution and junction temperature.
Engineers can perform these evaluations through a web browser without having to build a dedicated simulation environment or prepare device models.
The platform's September 2026 updates also include individual-MOSFET thermal simulation and a three-phase inverter topology for IPMSM brushless motor applications.
I see these proposed use cases: Semiconductor device selection and evaluation; Power supply and converter design; EV power electronics and motor-drive development; Industrial automation and motor-control applications; Thermal design and early-stage electronic product development.
I believe tools like these can make engineering exploration and preliminary design verification more accessible, particularly during the early stages of product development.
I recommend this as worth a closer look for professionals and organisations working in semiconductors, electronics manufacturing, automotive electronics, EV technology and power engineering.
I thanked Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation for making the resource available and mentioned Delta Electronics India, Bosch India, Siemens, ABB, and Schneider Electric.
