Tue, December 15, 2009 MPS and Transim Launch MPSim, the New Online Environment Supports Customers From Design Requirements to Working Prototype in Mi
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - December 15, 2009) - Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (MPS) (
[ MPSim ] supports design engineers in selecting and configuring power management applications using MPS industry-leading DC-to-DC converter ICs. Within minutes, users can create customized design schematics correctly compensated and ready to build. MPSim allows instantaneous verification of the design using sophisticated remote simulation capabilities provided by WebSIM® and generate a comprehensive design report with a push of a button. WebSIM® features a variety of specialized simulation engines for power electronics, analog/mixed signal, RF&MW, signal integrity and thermal problems. It allows a comprehensive analysis of a design under a variety of conditions, such as AC, steady state, soft start and transient.
"With [ MPSim ] we take our customer commitment for excellent support to the next level. The tool is an efficient way to provide support to our global customers in a sophisticated manner. The tool increases our application engineering bandwidth considerably and also helps to support our distribution channel," stated John Cantelmo, Director of North American Sales, MPS. "By working closely with MPS' application engineering group and capturing their deep design expertise, we were able to develop an easy-to-use and efficient design tool. It has been a pleasure to work with MPS and we are looking forward to expand the tool into other product families," stated Birgit Knorr, Transim President and CEO.
[ MPSim ] Online Design Capabilities:
-- Interactive Application Notes -- Detailed Design Requirements Interview -- Automatic Reference Design Generation -- Interactive Schematic and WebSIM® remote analysis capabilities -- High Performance Simulation, including AC, Steady State, Transient, and Soft Start Analysis -- Web based waveform post-processing using WebScope® -- Private Design Space with detailed design reports and BoM -- Free offline version of MPSim powered by Transim's WebSIM Connect!™
Logon to [ MPSim ] and start a new MPS design today with the following parts:
-- MP2107 - Internally compensated, 1.5MHz fixed-frequency PWM synchronous step-down regulator. -- MP4460 - High frequency, wide 4.5V to 36V input range step-down switching regulator with an integrated internal high-side high voltage power MOSFET provides 2.5A output with current mode control for fast loop response and easy compensation. -- MP4560 - High frequency, wide 4.5V to 55V input range step-down switching regulator with integrated internal high-side high voltage power MOSFET provides 2A output with current mode control for fast loop response and easy compensation. -- MP8666 - Monolithic step-down switch mode converter with a built in high-side internal power MOSFET and a gate driver for a low- side external MOSFET. It achieves 6A continuous output current over a wide input supply range with excellent load and line regulation. -- MP8708 - High frequency synchronous rectified step-down switch mode converter with built in internal power MOSFETs and 4A continuous output current over a wide input supply range.
