Energy Integrations launched a brand new operate in PI Knowledgeable, the highly effective on-line design device that routinely generates optimized energy provide designs primarily based on customers’ specs. PI Knowledgeable now contains a planar magnetics builder that generates an application-specific planar transformer design — full with printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer-ready documentation and Gerber information. The most recent model of PI Knowledgeable now additionally consists of help for Energy Integrations’ total InnoSwitch3 flyback switcher IC household.
Trevor Hiatt, director of channel advertising and marketing at Energy Integrations stated: “Planar transformers facilitate low-profile flyback energy provides. With our new planar magnetics builder, designers can incorporate a classy low-profile transformer in minutes. No different design device can do that.”
The magnetics designer operate in PI Knowledgeable supplies full planar transformer info together with stack specification, vertical and horizontal PCB development, hint parameters, present density info and layer resistance. The device routinely incorporates user-specified creepage and clearance distances mandatory to fulfill security isolation requirements. An intuitive GUI supplies vertical and horizontal stack development and a hen’s eye view for all layers. The device additionally outputs detailed manufacturing info of the planar answer, enabling customers to go instantly from design to fabrication.
The device supplies a complete database of planar cores and parts to simplify design and may settle for customized core geometries. PI Knowledgeable routinely optimizes the planar transformer design to match the facility provide specification, incorporating extra winding layers and adjusting hint geometries as acceptable.
PI Knowledgeable leverages a long time of PI’s mixed energy provide design experience and is utilized by tens of 1000’s of worldwide engineers yearly.
