Power Integrations has released version 8.5 of its PI Expert software to further streamline and simplify the power supply design process. This latest release adds support for the company’s new HiperLCS family of high-frequency LLC converter ICs, as well as the recently introduced TOPSwitch-JX family of integrated offline switcher ICs.
PI Expert Suite simplifies the design process by generating a complete schematic of the power supply, including an optimised power transformer design and a complete bill of materials. In addition to support for the latest PI product families, the version 8.5 update includes thermal calculations to optimise heatsink performance and provides PCB layout recommendations for the device and package type chosen. The new version also features an updated component library that includes fuses, fusible resistors, shunt regulators, optocouplers and heatsinks.
The software is now available in two versions — 32-bit and 64-bit. The 64-bit version takes advantage of larger system memory and faster processor speeds to expedite the design optimisation process. PI Expert Suite can be downloaded at www.powerint.com/pi-expert. Transformer prototypes resulting from the use of this software can be ordered through Power Integrations’ Rapid Transformer Sample Service (RTSS); a quick-start guide describing how to create a compatible design file is available at www.powerint.com/rtss.
