National Semiconductor announced the addition of Webench LED Architect to its portfolio of online Designer tools. LED Architect enables both novice and expert designers to perform real-time comparisons and optimize complex lighting systems for performance, size and cost in minutes.

To start a design, the designer enters desired light output (lumens) and adjusts the design with the unique Webench Optimizer Dial, evaluating size, conversion efficiency and cost trade-offs. The designer can order components for prototyping, share the complete system with others, or easily print a complete project report including schematics, bill of materials and performance characteristics.
