Hi,

When can I have your response?

Hi.

Thank you for giving a comment.

Do I hear that the simulation methods differ? (A circuit constant is almost the same. )

I want you to teach why results differ.

The computation engines are for sure differ. Webench was "adopted" by TI after National acquisition.

Sorry but I do not know the details.

Hi Abhishek,

Thank you for giving a reply .

Between WEBENCH and SwitcherPro, I understand about some internal parameters used for calculation differing slightly.

However, does the value of the phase margin of WEBENCH and SwitcherPro have a difference like this?

Hi Surinder,

If it is true that you recommend Webench instead of Switcher Pro, I would like to recommend that TI state something to that effect on the Switcher Pro product page (http://www.ti.com/tool/switcherpro). If it is only true for certain components, then it should list which tool is recommended for each. I spent a good deal of time comparing the results of Switcher Pro with Webench for the TPS54140, only to come to the conclusion that Switcher Pro produced inferior results. The Switcher Pro product page says "NOTE: New devices are being added to the tool on a regular basis". That leads one to believe it is actively being supported when in actuality it isn't.

Thanks and regards,

Greg

Greg,

Your suggestions is noted. I will pass it along to the team.

Thanks for using TI products and using WEBENCH.

Hi Surinder,

Thanks! And I do like TI products and the Webench software. I'll soon find out how well the simulations match reality.
