A method (and system) includes receiving, at a computing device including a design tool application, design parameters indicative of a plurality of power supply loads to be powered. The method further includes generating power supply solutions that do not include multi-channel voltage regulators and generating power supply solutions that do include multi-channel voltage regulators. The method also includes ranking all power supply solutions and providing the ranked power supply solutions to a user.

Power supply design tool for power supply system designs including multi-channel regulators

According to exemplary embodiments, a system and method for automated system power supply design is provided. The system and method enables circuit designers to quickly and independently design complicated single or multi rail power supply systems including multiple loads and sequencing requirements. The power solutions offered to designers may include all required power supplies to power up the loads including sequencers and load switches. The power supply design system may be implemented on a standalone processing unit, a distributed computing network, internet based web application, or among various other network applications.

System and method for designing power systems

A method for converting a circuit in a format of a first circuit simulation program to format of a second circuit simulation program includes identifying components in the circuit that are recognized by the second simulation program. Characteristics for components that are not recognized by the second simulation program are created. Connections in the circuit are formatted to a format that is recognized by the second simulation program. The components, characteristics, and connections are stored in a single computer-readable file.
