Hello,
My customer has been having issues when trying to search for inductors using SwitcherPro online. Can you review and offer help please?
From Customer:
I have been using the SwitcherPro Designer online version today. It’s pretty good in lieu of a graphical Spice simulation where we can see waveforms.
However I immediately ran into problems when searching for a specific inductor. In the schematic page for my TPS61175 design I double clicked on the inductor and p the inductor library page came up, showing Page 1 of 22 with about 16 visible items of the 100 item page. You must scroll to see all 100 items on the page, then click “Next Page” to see another 100 parts, etc. There are several empty dialog boxes above each of the fields, so I typed in “Coiltronics” in the Manufacturer field. Nothing happens. I click Find Inductors button – nothing happens. Other empty fields are Value, DCR, SAT Current, RMS Current, Part Number – all of which I left empty. Scrolling over the 100 items in Page 1 I see several TOKO inductors, so I scrolled back to the top of the page and changed my search entry in Manufacturers to “TOKO” and again nothing happened, even when I click the Find Inductors key. I am using Mozilla Firefox v 3.6.16 (latest & greatest).
Please advise how I should proceed to see if the library has a 10uH Coiltronics shielded SMT inductor with under 50milliohms DCR (several are actually available).
Thanks,
Tom
