Calculators and models are calibrated to bench data

• Operating values like efficiency, loop and

component temperature need to be

calibrated to bench data to model a range of

design conditions

• Inaccuracies can lead to poor designs and

design failures

• Well calibrated models are essential

• Prototyping is essential

Comments from WEBENCH® users in training site

Interface looks very

neat and explnation is

eash to understand, it’s

easy to use from

beginner to expert and

well implemented.

Wanted to use in next

design. -shkim

“Webench Power made my project

easier, now, it converted to Altium

directly what I’m using. -

chungwoo.lee

WEBENCH’s

Interface is

excellent and easy

to use. -ghnam

Really innovative online simulation tool! I

believe the engineers would be able to

design easier and faster than before. –

Ddoggun

It’s very effective to evaluate the specific

parts from circuit design to simulation.-

snlee

“Step-by-step explanation with

demonstration from basic is really

helpful to learn. -!minkh3

- It’s very eash to search the related

information and also free is very
