??? One of the challenges designers face is finding the time to perform labor-intensive calculations to minimize external component count. This challenge becomes even greater when designing higher current solutions that involve controllers, which require the selection of external MOSFETs.

?

??? National's new family of PowerWise SIMPLE SWITCHER ?controllers and SIMPLE SWITCHER regulators, as well as the new enhanced features of WEBENCH ?Power Designer, provide designers with a complete set of products and tools to easily simulate, optimize and build system designs.

?

??? WEBENCH Power Designer now features the industry’s first complete MOSFET selection tool, enhanced optimization tools including bill-of-material components charts, efficiency and footprint graphs, and the ability to output a fully formatted report summarizing the design, to help make controller designs easy.
