LED lighting design simulation tool

27 October 2010 Design Automation

ON Semiconductor, together with Transim Technology, a provider of online design solutions for the semiconductor industry, has launched its interactive GreenPoint design simulation tool for high-efficiency LED-based lighting applications.

The tool is an interactive online design and verification environment that assists in accelerating the board design of solid state lighting solutions. Utilising a user’s design requirements – such as LED configuration, voltage, current or switching frequency – GreenPoint automatically calculates the optimum circuit configuration and selects appropriate values for inductors and capacitors. The resulting design is displayed as an interactive online schematic. The design tool then enables testing of the suggested solution using Transim’s proprietary WebSIM technology. Essentially, it is a virtual online test bed that provides a variety of analyses, which enables engineers to test the performance of the solution.

Once the design has been verified, the GreenPoint design tool generates a bill of materials and a comprehensive design report including simulation results, schematic and design data. ON Semiconductor’s e-commerce tools are integrated with GreenPoint, which allows users to pick and choose vendor parts for a qualified bill of materials. Designs can be saved and shared for future reference and further modification in the user’s secure and private workspace.
