Power Supply WebDesigner enhanced by Fairchild
Fairchild Semiconductor has enhanced Power Supply WebDesigner – an online design and simulation tool that provides complete designs in under a minute – to include power train discrete (MOSFET/IGBT/Rectifier) device power loss and efficiency analysis tools. The Power Train Discrete Module consists of a phase-shifted full bridge with secondary side synchronous rectification module and power factor correction module.
Supplementing the testing process with EM simulation
In many cases, simulating the behavior of the model of a device is cheaper and faster than building a prototype and testing it in the lab. If a problem appears in a prototype this may require a full design iteration including the building of a new prototype. A virtual model can be adjusted more easily, and parameterization and optimization tools can make these adjustments automatically. CST STUDIO SUITE can replicate common measurements such as c...
DFI mini-ITX supports three independent display interfaces
