Looking for a lab tested Power Solution?

TI’s PowerLab reference design library is a cost free, centralized repository of over 1,000 fully tested power reference designs. Each design within PowerLab contains supporting documentation such as a circuit schematic, test results, printed circuit board, bill of material, Gerber files and associated power management products.

Design Value
With tested designs for nearly every application, PowerLab enables users to quickly identify a working power solution that matches their unique design requirements. Launched in 2011, PowerLab's collection of reference designs has grown from 300 to over 1,000 lab tested power solutions , with new designs added weekly. It is the industry's most extensive collection of power management references designs in a single, centralized selection tool.

Equipment manufacturers can shorten their design cycle in order to speed time to market by selecting the most accurate power management reference design for a wide range of applications and power conversion topologies. This allows the creation of more integrated designs that help cut costs and create higher performing solutions.

Using PowerLab
PowerLab’s feature rich selection tool offers many different search functionalities to help users quickly access the power designs that are most relevant to them.

Whether users are interested in searching by input or output operating range, application type, topology, or even part number, PowerLab’s robust search tool allows users to quickly narrow down their list of potential solutions.

For example, searching for a universal input to isolated 5 V quasi resonant flyback, users will first want to utilize the Topology selection feature to select “Flyback”. This action will reduce the search results from over 1,000 down to a few hundered flyback specific designs. By default every subtopology in this category is automatically selected, and since we are only interested in the “quasi resonant” subtopology, then all other options are simply de-selected.

After this is accomplished, our list is yet again decreased to a more manageable size. The next step is to indicate the exact output voltage we are seeking to further reduce the list, in this case 5V. Once the final results are displayed, then the differences between the circuits are easily comparable under the remaining criteria. In the example above, the end products vary between minimum and maxmium input voltage, output current, application type and output power. All of this information can be easily exported into an excel document for further use.

The search results can be exported to Microsoft Excel.

Finally, by clicking on a specific design in the list of search results, users will find a detailed design description, test results, schematic, bill-of-materials, gerber files and assoicated power management devices. All of these documents are provided in a PDF format for easy download. At this stage, PowerLab designs are for reference purposes only. If a purchase is desired , then one must contact a TI sales representative for further information.
