Power Integrations (Nasdaq:POWI),
the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient
power conversion, today announced that its powerful, flexible power
supply unit (PSU) design tool, PI
Expert™ Suite, is now accessible as a cloud-based app.
Previously, users downloaded the tool to a local PC or workstation; with
the cloud-based version designers may access the design tool from any
internet browser and can be sure that they are always using the most
up-to-date version.
PI
Expert Suite improves the productivity of power supply design
teams by greatly reducing the time to first prototype and by slashing
the number of prototype iterations required to finish a product. The
software generates a complete schematic of the power supply, even
specifying the transformer design and offering links to transformer
manufacturers. A heatsink calculation and optimization tool provides the
designer with an estimation of the thermal design requirements for a new
power supply, which can be used to guide layout and mechanical
prototyping decisions – avoiding iterations and wasted time. Enhanced
PCB layout recommendations based on the chosen IC device and package
allow the designer to minimize trace-induced EMI and board area, and
also maximize electrical noise immunity and surge tolerance.
Comments Peter Vaughan, director of applications engineering at Power
Integrations: “The new cloud-based version of PI
Expert Suite is almost like having a Power Integrations
engineer on your team. It is loaded with easy-to-use wizard interfaces
that help designers input specifications and optimize parameters. The
software then uses real-world data to analyze thousands of design
options to determine the most appropriate choice. Now that PI
Expert Suite is usable in real time and online, designers
can use the tool anytime they have an open browser and internet access.”
