WEBENCH® Tools/LM5122: webench custom inductor errors

Part Number: LM5122

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

new webench is worse than old webench.  I waited months for new webench, so sad that new webench is so bad.

horrible--all entries have 5 lines spaces between values, huge waste of visible area to show data.  huge amount of scrolling needed, and I have a 32" 4K monitor.  you should use single line spacing.  goal is to present data for analysis, not try to artistic.  obviously the author suffers from clastophobia, get them out outa there.

horrible--default inductor limits are way too high.  only 3 default showed up, and all are wrong by a long ways.  recommended values always remains way too high, can't change recommended values.

horrible grammer:  Configuration Options shows:  slide bar with Used selected FET        what does that mean?  that FETs must be used not new?  that's ridiculous, but you can't tell what is intended.  also, doesn't matter what you select, webench always un-selects it.

both input and output capacitance is far lower than old webench, and lower than reasonable cap values.  more than an order of magnitude lower.  new webench is wrong.

improvements:

lots of charts (but note, these are actually graphs, charts are table listed values).  change word to graphs.

  • Hi Vern,

    Thank you for your feedback. I am going to pass this to our Webench group. Actually I also heard some users praised the new Webench for the ease of use. Anyway, I think the old Webench still functions and is not obsolete. If you are more comfortable with the old version, you may continue to use it for now, and allow our Webench group to continue to improve the tool.

    Thanks,
    Youhao
