National's Rick Zarr introduces National's energy-efficient PowerWise reference design.

New PowerWise® reference designs from National Semiconductor empower design engineers to speed through the design process, delivering products that consume less power, extend battery life and generate less heat. PowerWise reference designs combine energy-efficient devices and arrange them in a system to actively lower power consumption and reduce heat dissipation.

Each proven PowerWise reference file kit includes applicable design schematic, bill of materials (BOM), board layout, firmware, design documentation and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) source code in synthesizable Verilog or VHDL. The designs address a wide range of applications including portable, lighting, solar, industrial, medical, communications infrastructure, and test and measurement.
