Abstract：As the core component of electric vehicles (EV), the high safety and high performance requirements of power control unit (PCU) have led to the great challenges of high coverage and high efficiency for the PCU software design and verification. With the advantages of good flexibility, high efficiency and low cost, digital design is expected to be an effective way to follow the trend of power electronic design automation (PEDA). In this paper, the state-of-the-art developments in the digital design and verification of PCU software are thoroughly reviewed from the aspects of digital platform, mathematical modeling and numerical algorithm. Especially, the basic structures of digital platform are discussed and summarized, the modeling methods and numerical algorithms are detailedly introduced and evaluated from the criteria of fidelity, speed and complexity. Finally, the major challenges and future possible research topics of PEDA are prospected.
