Nyt GUI til design af digitale powersystemer
Med Intersils nye PowerNavigator GUI er det muligt at opsætte og kontrollere digitalt styrede strømforsyninger uden at skrive som meget som én linje kode (in english).
Intersil Corporation has introducet a major breakthrough in digital power design - the PowerNavigator graphical user interface (GUI). The PowerNavigator GUI lets users design digital power into their systems without writing a single line of code, and its easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface significantly accelerates design time.The PowerNavigator tool is a free, downloadable GUI that provides the flexibility designers need to quickly set up and control any power supply architecture. Crafting the power architecture in PowerNavigator’s 'hardware-free' mode lets users select components prior to hardware development, without design risk. The PowerNavigator GUI provides access to all commands and setup configurations, including the ability to load predefined configurations for common applications.
Once the initial hardware is developed, the GUI can apply the saved settings and monitor all the rails. Any number of rails can be displayed with a selection of telemetric data. Designers make final system adjustments through the GUI with simple and intuitive controls. Sequencing of the rails is now possible through a visual drag-and-drop interface.
The rapidly expanding lineup of Intersil digital power ICs and modules provide a PMBus serial interface to configure, control and monitor the power supply. As part of the next generation platform, Intersil also announced today the ZL8800, a compensation free digital power controller that works in tandem with the PowerNavigator GUI to speed design time.
