The SwitcherPro design tool allows development of internally and externally compensated switching power supplies. Webcast panelists will demonstrate how to generate test-case schematics and loop responses, evaluate efficiency and analyze circuit performance. They will also show
how the easy-to-use interface allows designers to work with multiple designs simultaneously.
Nowakowski and Gallimore will demonstrate how to create new designs and properly calculate design efficiency and loop responses with the SwitcherPro design tool. In addition, they will show viewers how to check for stress indicators on key parts of the design, how to customize
designs by changing parts as well as part labels and outputs, and even explain how to change design parameters for analysis of various scenarios. Using the design tool, they will show how to output a simple schematic and bill of materials.
In addition, panelists will discuss the library of reference designs that are available. The existing templates provide a solid foundation for power supply designs and give users an advantage in
quickly achieving high-performance solutions.
