Last modified by Microchip on 2025/02/24 08:49

In this training, you'll learn to master the art of selecting, designing, and simulating power supplies tailored to meet specific design requirements using Microchip Analog Design Ecosystem, which consists of Treelink, MPLAB® Analog Designer (MAD), and MPLAB Mindi™ Analog Simulator.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this training, you will be able to:

  • Select a suitable power supply component based on user-defined design parameters.

  • Design a schematic that accurately represents your power supply setup.

  • Simulate your circuit design to predict performance and compare it with real-world measurements.

  • Utilize digital resources for component integration and design verification.

Module Objectives

  1. Selection of components:

    • Understand how to choose the right part from a range of options based on design parameters like voltage, current, efficiency, and size.

  2. Schematic design:

    • Learn to generate a schematic design using professional tools.

    • Export the schematic for further simulation and analysis.

  3. Circuit simulation:

    • Simulate your designed circuit to test performance under various conditions.
