Fairchild Semiconductor’s Power Supply WebDesigner Now Provides CCM, Non-Isolated PFC Buck and Buck LED Driver Designs in Under a Minute

New Modules Provide Optimal Design with Complete Schematics, Inductor Design and Bill of Materials

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Fairchild Semiconductor (NYS: FCS) , a leading global supplier of high performance power and mobile semiconductor solutions, has enhanced Power Supply WebDesigner – an online design and simulation tool that provides complete designs in under a minute – to include complete continuous conduction mode (CCM), non-isolated active PFC buck and buck LED driver designs.

From user-specified design inputs, the Power Supply WebDesigner (PSW) tool allows designers to choose all the components used in a design or have the tool automatically recommend the design values – providing Fairchild part numbers where applicable. PSW can automatically recommend design values, or allows the user to evaluate their own component choices.

While using the tool, designers can accept default recommended values, or spend time optimizing the important details to their unique design needs. Designers can get quick, accurate estimates on design performance, and refine design choices as they go. The tool also allows them to spend the time to perform detailed simulation analysis and learn the insights of how their design and its hardware prototype will work with higher degree of confidence.

When a design is complete, PSW creates a BOM which can be sent to their procurement department or instantly procure the components online, saving time on documentation or sourcing parts elsewhere. Additionally, they can save their design for future reference or pass the design on to other engineers.

Using the Power Supply WebDesigner tool provides the inexperienced designer a quick guided design, while the experienced designer can take their requirements and further customize critical design factors.

Updates:

  • Fairchild’s latest CCM buck and non-isolated PFC buck LED drivers are added options for PSW users, supporting Fairchild’s family of LED drivers.
  • First-available LED online tool designed to help design EMI filters, predict power factor (PF) and total harmonic distortion (THD).
  • PSW features have been extended to include the special driver requirements of low power (≤ 20W) …read more

QAD Features New Training Sessions for Advanced Manufacturing with Planning and Scheduling Workbenches at QAD Explore 2013 Customer Conference

Simultaneous Visibility to Plans, Schedules and Supporting Data Enable Control and Collaboration Across Production and Materials Planning Operations

Save $500 by Registering Online by April 1, 2013 for the Training at Explore 2013 to be held in San Antonio, Texas, on May 6-9, 2013

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– QAD Inc. (NAS: QADA) (NAS: QADB) , a leading provider of enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies, announced today new training sessions on Advanced Manufacturing with Planning & Scheduling Workbenches will be held at its customer conference QAD Explore 2013, in San Antonio, Texas, on May 6-9, 2013.

The QAD Advanced Manufacturing sessions are intended for supply chain personnel with a focus on production planning and scheduling.

The Advanced Manufacturing Training Session offers two schedule options:
Option 1: 1:30-5:30 PM on Tuesday, May 7th and Wednesday, May 8th
Option 2: 1:30-6:00 PM on Thursday, May 9th, and 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM on Friday, May 10th

QAD Planning and Scheduling Workbenches provide simultaneous visibility to plans, schedules and supporting data, enabling control and collaboration across the production and materials planning space.

The solution includes three key aspects:

  • Master Scheduling Workbench (MSW) — learn how to create a master schedule in an efficient way by assembling critical information into a single decision point to make informed decisions. Master schedule focus is typically one week to several weeks or months out.
  • Production Scheduling Workbench (PSW) — learn how to make effective production schedules with production sequencing and order management (release/printing/splitting orders) from a single access point. Production schedule focus is typically a couple of days to a couple of weeks out.
  • Component Availability Check (CAC) — integrated within the workbenches is visibility to material availability for the master and/or production schedule you created.

“Explore 2013 offers advanced training on MSW and PSW capabilities for our supply chain customers to enhance their skills and …read more
