Overview:
SwitcherPro is a new online tool that allows the development of both internally and externally compensated power supply designs and helps users to quickly achieve high-performance solutions. SwitcherPro generates test-case schematics and loop responses, evaluates efficiency and analyzes circuit performance. Having an easy-to-use interface, SwitcherPro allows users to work with multiple designs simultaneously and its reference design library assists in initial design concept and development.
The guests this month are Power Management Marketing Engineer, Rich Nowakowski, and Software Design Engineer, Heath Gallimore, who will discuss and demonstrate how to:
- create new designs
- calculate design efficiency
- calculate loop responses
- view stress information on all key parts in the design
- customize designs by changing parts, part labels and outputs
- change design parameters for what-if case analysis
- output a simple schematic and bill of materials for your design
