Analog Devices, Inc. has introduced ADI Power Studio, a comprehensive suite of products that offers advanced modelling, component recommendations, and efficiency analysis through simulation. This release includes early versions of two new web-based tools: ADI Power Studio Planner and ADI Power Studio Designer, which are part of the modernised user experience under the Power Studio umbrella. These tools, alongside the full ADI Power Studio portfolio — comprising LTspice, SIMPLIS, LTpowerCAD, LTpowerPlanner, EE-Sim, LTpowerPlay, and LTpowerAnalyzer — streamline the entire power system design process, supporting engineers from initial concept through to measurement and evaluation.
Today’s electronic systems demand unprecedented power density, featuring numerous power rails and interdependent voltage domains. This complexity often leads to bottlenecks and necessitates rework during architectural decisions, component selection, and validation. Power Studio addresses these challenges by offering a unified, intuitive workflow that helps engineering teams make informed decisions earlier by simulating real-world performance with precise models and automating key outputs, such as bill of materials and report generation.
The suite of tools facilitates shorter development cycles, reduces rework, and accelerates the time to market for power-dense systems. “ADI Power Studio is more than a set of tools — it’s a design ecosystem,” said Robert Reay, Vice President and Fellow, Power Products, ADI. “By integrating new system-level and IC-level design capabilities into a single product family, we’re enabling engineers to streamline power management design and optimisation, allowing them to deliver solutions to their customers faster.”
ADI Power Studio Planner provides an interactive, web-based platform for system-level power tree planning, offering clarity in modelling power distribution, power loss calculation, and system efficiency analysis. With intelligent parametric search and trade-off comparisons, engineers can make quicker, more informed architectural decisions. Meanwhile, ADI Power Studio Designer, built on ADI’s trusted power design architecture, offers IC-level power supply design with optimised component recommendations and tailored efficiency analysis. It guides engineers through key parameters, enabling accurate model simulations with support for both LTspice and SIMPLIS schematics before transitioning to hardware.
ADI remains committed to its existing range of desktop and web-based power management tools, ensuring continuity for customers. Power Studio Planner and Designer are now available as part of ADI Power Studio, marking the first phase in ADI’s vision for a fully connected power design workflow. Further updates and product announcements are anticipated in the coming months.
