Happy Monday! Although the NFL playoffs didn't go as well as I hoped, at least the bright side is I have my Sundays free again.
I did want to share some news from TI in case you did not see this last year. TI has a tool called WEBENCH that allows to create power topology solutions for your designs. This tool can be used for selecting one power part or going through a complex power topology that might be necessary when powering an FPGA. I have used WEBENCH a lot, and find that it helps me get to the best architecture quicker. It goes through all the power calculations for you and helps you see the tradeoffs of cost, size, and efficiency. At the end of last year, they added a new feature to WEBENCH, schematic export! Now you can go write from design into schematic. They support Altium Designer, OrCad Capture CIS, and the free tool DesignSpark. They are working on support for Mentor DxDesigner and Altium's P-Cad.
