Interactive Web-Based Tool Accelerates Design Development

摘要

The power.national.com collection of interactive online design tools, launched by National Semiconductor last fall, has been revamped. Its updated Webench 2.0 should accelerate development through automated design creation, virtual physical layouts, and Web-based simulations. This version incorporates three major changes: the EasyPLL tool for simulating PLL designs, an enhanced version of the power simulation tool unveiled last year, and the WebTHERM thermal simulator.
