What tools are available from National for simulation and design of power supply circuits (including switching regulators)?
National offers online and off-line tools to support power supply design based on National”s switching regulators and LDO voltage regulators. The WEBENCH online power supply design environment offers component selection (voltage regulator IC and other components), electrical and thermal simulation, and customized evaluation boards. “Switchers Made Simple” is an off-line software tool for switching-regulator based power supply design. It contains component selection and performance calculations that are also a part of WEBENCH.
