National Semiconductor Launches New WEBENCH FPGA Power Architect

National Semiconductor Corp. introduced WEBENCH® FPGA Power Architect, the industry’s first design tool to model and optimize power supplies for FPGAs in minutes.
WEBENCH FPGA Power Architect incorporates the detailed supply requirements of more than 130 of the newest FPGA devices from Altera Corp. and Xilinx, Inc. Modern power supply systems, including advanced FPGA, are complex to design, often incorporating multiple unique loads to drive precisely specified voltages. In addition to the required voltages and currents, each load may have specific limitations for ripple, noise filtering, synchronization and separation of supplies, as well as start up definitions (soft start).
