DALLAS (January 31, 2007) - Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) and Mouser Electronics, Inc. will present a live Analog eLab(TM) Webcast for designers entitled "The Analog eLab Design Center Introduces SwitcherPro(TM)" on Wednesday, February 14, 2007, at 11:00 a.m. CST (18:00 hrs CET). TI Analog expert Bill Klein, P.E. will host the Webcast. Analog eLab Design Center manager, Mike Caruso will provide viewers with a tour of the Website and an overview of the tools available online. Klein and eLab panelists Rich Nowakowski and Heath Gallimore of TI and Joe Brown of Mouser will discuss and demonstrate how to create and customize new switching power supply designs using the new online tool, SwitcherPro. Engineers are invited to register for the one-hour session at www.ti.com/analogelab.
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.
