SwitcherPro Desktop

There are many software solutions that you can find on the Internet, especially design applications for engineers and electricians. One of such programs is SwitcherPro Desktop.

It allows you to create and design power supplies by using components delivered by Texas Instruments. It's packed with all sort of neat tools and it comes with many features that you can check out.

The application sports a really nice graphical interface that will guide you through the process of creating power supplies using many tools. It comes with the option of importing your designs from previous versions, so you wouldn't lose your work.

The first thing that you need to do after launching the application is to create a new design or import an existing one. You can start by selecting a device or entering specifications.

You will need to scroll through the long list of devices to pick one or enter the design parameters, like voltage input and output. You can also adjust advanced input parameters or check out demo designs and edit them after you've made a copy.

There's the option to edit inputs, like voltage and design name. Moreover, you can perform an analysis on your design and check out the parameters, values for default and user input, calculated minimum and maximum.

The application displays the schematics for your design and lets you edit parameters for each of the elements. You can perform a stress analysis, calculate power and expected error messages.

You can also get a graph with the design's efficiency, loop, BOM or layout. It even has a separate section that allows you to add notes to your designs and save them.

All graphs and information found inside the application can be exported to Excel. When you're done, simply save the power supply design to your computer and access it later.

SwitcherPro Desktop is a very nice application for creating, managing and sharing power supplies. It's packed with lots of tools and graphs that you can check out or export to other programs.
