Software runs pre-compliance tests on SMPS virtual prototypes
A PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS)-compatible workspace enables designers to perform pre-compliance testing on virtual prototypes of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) designs. This new capability saves time and cost by catching errors early in the design before they become a big problem. Keysight teamed with ROHM to create the digital “twin” of ROHM’s reference design […]
Design package enables pre-compliance testing on SMPS virtual prototypes
Keysight Technologies announced a new add-on to PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) that enables designers to perform pre-compliance testing on virtual prototypes of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) designs. This new capability saves the time and cost of iterative build and test of physical prototypes. Demand for SMPS is driven by the need for greater efficiency, increased power […]
