Flex Power releases new software
Flex Power Designer V4.6 enables users to configure and optimise power systems without any attached hardware
Flex Power Modules has introduced the latest update, Version 4.6, of its Flex Power Designer software that enables users to configure and optimise power systems, even without any attached hardware.
The tool continues to provides the ability to include generic products, not limited to those from Flex Power Modules, and remains free for all users. The new Version 4.6 brings enhancements to phase spreading, droop simulation, a more compact system view, and support for USB-TO-GPIO2.
Flex Power Designer now offers full support for the company’s 40A rated BMR473 and 80A rated BMR474 DC/DC Point of Load regulators when applying Phase Spreading. The update enables designers to optimise power distribution and minimise noise in their systems, ensuring superior performance and overall system reliability.
With the introduction of droop settings in the frequency analysis for the 1600W rated BMR351 intermediate bus converter, users can now simulate and adjust droop responses more accurately. This feature is crucial for maintaining stability and performance under varying load conditions, providing designers with the capability to fine-tune their power systems.
Version 4.6 introduces a compact system view. This upgrade offers a clearer overview of the system design, enabling easier navigation and adjustments to help speed up the development cycle.
The update also includes support for Texas Instruments’ latest PMBus adapter, USB-TO-GPIO2. This integration facilitates easier communication and configuration of power modules, further simplifying the design process for engineers.
Flex Power Modules will show Version 4.6 of the Flex Power Designer at Embedded World 2024, taking place in Nuremberg, Germany, from April 9-11.
