National Semiconductor's WEBENCH LED Architect

National Semiconductor Corp. announced the addition of WEBENCH LED Architect to its portfolio of online WEBENCHDesigner tools. WEBENCH LEDArchitect enables both novice and expert designers to perform real-timecomparisons and optimize complex lighting systems for performance, size andcost in minutes.

Tostart a design, the designer enters desired light output (lumens) and adjuststhe design with the WEBENCH Optimizer Dial, evaluating size, conversionefficiency and cost trade-offs. The designer can order components forprototyping, share the complete system with others, or easily print a completeproject report including schematics, bill of materials (BOM) and performancecharacteristics.
