9.2.2.1 Custom Design With WEBENCH® Tools
Click here to create a custom design using the TPS61178 device with the WEBENCH® Power Designer.
- Start by entering the input voltage (VIN), output voltage (VOUT), and output current (IOUT) requirements.
- Optimize the design for key parameters such as efficiency, footprint, and cost using the optimizer dial.
- Compare the generated design with other possible solutions from Texas Instruments.
The WEBENCH Power Designer provides a customized schematic along with a list of materials with real-time pricing and component availability.
In most cases, these actions are available:
- Run electrical simulations to see important waveforms and circuit performance
- Run thermal simulations to understand board thermal performance
- Export customized schematic and layout into popular CAD formats
- Print PDF reports for the design, and share the design with colleagues

To begin the design process a few parameters must be decided upon. The designer needs to know the following:
- Input voltage range
- Output voltage
- Output ripple voltage
- Output current rating
- Operating frequency
- Load disconnect needed or not
