Abstract: A computer-implemented method for the design of a power supply is disclosed. Multiple lists of power supply design variables are provided. The method includes simulating a first power supply design in response to power supply design variables selected from these multiple lists of variables. The method then calculates a score of the first power supply design and determines whether the score is better than the score of any power supply design included in a set of power supply designs. If so, the method replaces a power supply design having a worst score from the set of power supply designs with the first power supply design.

Abstract: A method and system for feedback circuit design are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of feedback circuit design includes simulating a reference circuit design having a feedback stage at a target crossover frequency, determining an initial phase margin at the target crossover frequency, and adding an impedance network to the feedback stage if the initial phase margin is less than a threshold phase margin. The design of the impedance network is determined such that the initial phase margin is increased.

Abstract: Various techniques directed to the design and construction of transformers are disclosed. In one aspect, a computer system according to embodiments of the present invention includes instructions stored on a storage media which when executed by a processor performs the operations of loading parameters of a transformer included in a power supply design, calculating primary winding parameters of the transformer in response to the loaded parameters of the transformer, calculating secondary winding parameters of the transformer in response to the loaded parameters of the transformer, and generating a list of transformer construction materials. Shield winding parameters of the transformer may be calculated in response to the loaded parameters of the transformer. The calculation of secondary winding parameters may include allocating pins of a secondary winding of the transformer.
