WEBENCH® Designer Tools

WEBENCH Designer tools are a collection of powerful software algorithms and visual interfaces that deliver on the promise of Design Made Easy for power, lighting, and sensing applications.

Entry Level Tools Advanced Hierarchical Tools Other Languages

With the introduction of the WEBENCH Online Design Environment in 1999, Texas Instrument made it possible for design engineers to create a reliable power supply circuit over the internet in minutes. The user specified the circuit performance and the WEBENCH Toolset delivered. Today, WEBENCH Designer creates and presents all of the possible power, lighting, or sensing circuits that meet a design requirement in seconds. This enables the user to make value based comparisons at a system and supply chain level before a design is committed. This expert analysis is not possible anywhere else.

  

WEBENCH® Designer

All of these design tools present multiple complete system alternatives using the WEBENCH Visualizer interface (value comparison at a glance!). Design engineers can tune the results and the selection algorithms across footprint, efficiency, or system cost simply by turning the WEBENCH Optimizer Dial.

The WEBENCH Designer Eco-System makes these value based comparisons possible. Comprised of more than 110 component manufactures and electronic distributors, the Eco-System provides electrical and physical characteristics across more than 21,000 components with price and availability updated hourly over the internet. In addition, WEBENCH Designer is now available in Chinese, Japanese, and English.

Using WEBENCH Designer, you can create designs in minutes in just a few simple steps:

  • Define your system performance requirements in light output, sensor accuracy, or voltages and currents
  • Select your preferred FPGA, LED, or component suppliers
  • Review the resulting complete solutions presented visually for footprint, cost, efficiency, and ease of use
  • Analyze and tune the resulting topologies and component suppliers
  • Print out a project or design report or order the complete Build It Kit for overnight shipment
  • Define it today and assemble it tomorrow.

With more than 1.5 million designs created, WEBENCH Designer tools enable innovation.

WEBENCH Designer Tools At-a-Glance

WEBENCH FPGA Power Architect Wins EDN Magazine Innovation AwardWEBENCH FPGA Power Architect – FPGA Power Supplies in Minutes
WEBENCH FPGA Power Architect incorporates the detailed supply requirements of the newest FPGA devices from Altera, Xilinx, Actel, and Lattice. High performance FPGA power supplies are complex, requiring the designer to meet unique multiple voltage levels with precise voltage, current, ripple, noise filtering, synchronization, soft start, and supply separation demands. The power supply designs delivered by WEBENCH incorporate comprehensive power requirements published by the FPGA manufacturers, giving the designer confidence that their power supplies will meet these constraints while saving critical time in the process.

WEBENCH Power Architect
Define your input voltage source, list your desired output voltage and current loads and WEBENCH Power Architect will collect all of the common loads and create a range of intermediate rail topologies and optimize each of the individual power supplies presenting the results to the user at a system level for comparison and selection on price, efficiency, and footprint. Estimated time savings: 2 weeks minimum.
