Design tools ease power supply selection
Engineers can use PowerBench to design a customer-specific product, allowing them to focus on their ideas rather than the constraints dictated by power supply availability.
Vicor has released PowerBench, a suite of enhanced online power supply design tools that helps ensure designers select the best power supply to meet their requirements If an appropriate standard product does not already exist, engineers can use PowerBench to design a customer-specific product, allowing them to focus on their ideas rather than the constraints dictated by power supply availability

Westcor, a division of Vicor, has added two new members to its LoPAC Series of low-profile AC/DC switchers.
By integrating design, ordering, and manufacturing processes, PowerBench minimises costs and lead time.
The tools also provide immediate price and availability quotes.
PowerBench enables engineers to determine whether a standard, existing nonstandard or customer-specific specification power supply will best meet the needs of their application.
Vicor is the only power supply company to manufacture all products - whether standard or customer-specific - using the same production line and process.
This reduces NRE, costs and lead times, ensuring comparable pricing for standard and nonstandard supplies as well as the same outstanding levels of quality and reliability for all products.
Engineers use PowerBench's module design system to specify online the exact power supply they need and verify in real-time its performance and attributes.
This eliminates the risk of specifying the wrong power supply for the application.
The PowerBench suite of tools encompasses the design of DC/DC convertors, AC/DC and DC/DC partitioned power architecture (VipaC and VipaC Arrays), and a broad range of power-factor corrected AC/DC power supplies.
PowerBench is available from the Vicor website.
