1 Abstract

Power Stage Designer™ software tool is a Java® based tool that helps engineers speed up their power supply designs by calculating voltages and currents for 21 topologies according to the user's inputs. Additionally, Power Stage Designer contains a Bode plotting tool and a helpful toolbox with various functions for power supply design. This document describes how the different features of Power Stage Designer can be used and also explains the calculations behind these functions.
