Sipex offers downloadable simulator for PowerBlox ICs

Sipex Corp. has announced the addition of a downloadable simulator and Spice models for its PowerBlox ICs, allowing the designer to conduct simulations without an Internet connection. The Spice models can also be integrated into the customer's existing simulator to enable complete system simulation, the company said.

"The addition of these state-of-the-art simulation tools is one more way we are supporting our customers, recognizing that in today's environment, design cycles have been greatly reduced," said Dimitry Goder, VP of applications at Sipex. "We are continuing to develop tools which will enable our customers to understand design performance prior to building prototypes and manufacturing, resulting in faster, zero error designs."

These simulation tools allow users to access quick-start reference schematics, as well as an option for specific output requirements and other user-defined choices. Once input requirements are entered, the user will be presented with a solution that is properly compensated and will have all the peripheral components properly calculated. The schematics may then be opened in the downloadable power simulator tool. The new downloadable simulation tools and Spice models are available on the Sipex website.
