Microchip announced an online Intelligent Power-Supply Design Center. This Web site provides technical tools and resources needed to design analog power-supply applications, augment existing analog power-supply applications with microcontrollers, or design Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) applications involving digital control of the power-conversion feedback loop. The Design Center offers complete access to Microchip’s power-supply application notes and reference designs, which include everything from a pure analog approach to completely digital implementations. Links to Microchip simulation tools (including the Mindi simulation tool for battery charger and power-supply circuits) and other technical documentation are included.
