CHiL Intuitive Power Designer (IPD) Graphical User Interface

The CHiL Intuitive Power Designer (IPD) GUI accompanies every CHiL intelligent multiphase PWM controller. It is an easy-to-use, comprehensive tool that encompasses all the key elements of bringing an easy digital VR design to production.

Each controller has the flexibility to be used in a variety of designs by simply changing the operating configuration stored in the registers of the Non Volatile Memory (NVM). The IPD provides the VR designer with the tools required to make the necessary design tradeoffs, access to the controller configuration registers to implement a design, review the impact of the tradeoffs and optimize the performance – all in real time.
