As more and more features are added to applications, powering different blocks and yet achieving efficiency is a complex issue. Helping engineers to address this complex issue is one of National Semiconductor's power management technology development objectives. In this session, we will take the example of swtichers and explain how these advanced switchers can simplify design work. These switchers have wide input voltage range so they can be applied to different applications. They also require less external components. What's more, many of these switchers do not require compensation or are already with internal compensation. Together with our Webench online design tool and excel tool, which simplify the design task, we are making engineers' lives easier.
