SIPDP-AC is similar to the
previous Kinema Software product SIPDP-2D, but because a more efficient numerical
algorithm is used, SIPDP-AC is 10 or more times faster. SIPDP-AC can simulate a PDP discharge pulse in less than 5 minutes CPU time on a PC
pentium 300 MHz.
- Simulation of a single discharge pulse
- Simulation of a sequence of more than 100 pulses including
writing, sustaining, and erasing
- Automatic calculation of breakdown curves
- Choice of symmetric or periodic boundary conditions in the
direction parallel to the electrodes
- Possibility to study electrical cross-talk between adjacent
cells.
- Also included with the SIPDP-AC package is a
one-dimensional PDP simulation software, SIGLO-TR

The
user defines interactively the working conditions:
Mixtures of up to three gases can be considered.
Arbitrary dielectric structures (in a two-dimensional
rectangular geometry), electrodes, and MgO surfaces are defined in a completely intuitive
way. Matrix (double substrate) or coplanar (single substrate) PDP's can be simulated
with this software. Dielectric and surface properties can be defined for individual
elements. |

The
capability to display results (such as current on each electrode, surface charge on the
dielectrics, discharge efficiency..) graphically and on-line is an attractive feature of
SIPDP-AC. Animated contour plots of the electron and ion number density distributions,
electrical potential, excitation, surface charge can also be displayed.
In addition, the intermediate results of the simulation can be recorded for subsequent
display using "playback" software included in the SIPDP-AC package |

The
SIPDP software are distributed with a database of transport coefficients for Xe-Ne
mixtures (1%, 2%,...10% Xe in Ne).
The user can also build a database for other gas mixtures of up to three gases with BOLSIG, a Boltzmann equation solver included in the SIPDP package. |
