Calculators and models are calibrated to bench data
• Operating values like efficiency, loop and
component temperature need to be
calibrated to bench data to model a range of
design conditions
• Inaccuracies can lead to poor designs and
design failures
• Well calibrated models are essential
• Prototyping is essential

• Applications that use power are everywhere.
• WEBENCH® tools make it easy to select, design, optimize, analyze and
export your design.
• Circuits for lighting, sensors, amplifiers, filters, clocks and power take
just a few steps and save designers time and avoid errors.
• WEBENCH tools are popular with Korean engineers.
• New and powerful tools and capabilities and products are added to
WEBENCH every year.
• WEBENCH tools are available at ti.com/webench-kr

Comments from WEBENCH® users in training site
Interface looks very
neat and explnation is
eash to understand, it’s
easy to use from
beginner to expert and
well implemented.
Wanted to use in next
design. -shkim
“Webench Power made my project
easier, now, it converted to Altium
directly what I’m using. -
chungwoo.lee
WEBENCH’s
Interface is
excellent and easy
to use. -ghnam
Really innovative online simulation tool! I
believe the engineers would be able to
design easier and faster than before. –
Ddoggun
It’s very effective to evaluate the specific
parts from circuit design to simulation.-
snlee
“Step-by-step explanation with
demonstration from basic is really
helpful to learn. -!minkh3
- It’s very eash to search the related
information and also free is very
attractive-kth512
