WEBENCH® Tools: Power System Architect

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

I need to design a power system with about 14 separate rails.

Some of the rails must be digitally adjustable.

I do have voltage range and maximum current requirements for each rail.

Is there a tool available that will enable me to design this?

The Power Architect does not allow me to specify the output voltages RANGE.

Thanks

Hi David,

In the power architect, multiple rails can be added using the 'Add Load' option. Please specify the voltage and current load capability of each rail as shown below. Currently, WEBENCH does not have the option to specify voltage range for output rails.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi David,
Is there a specific reason why you would want to design for a specific voltage range? I think you mean digitally programmable outputs that can change Vout under specific situations. Is that correct?

Each rail is to be digitally programmable over I2C/SPI. This is a requirement of the board. I guess I don;t really understand your question or comment.
Each rail is required to programmable over it's specific range.
