Simulation tools can make the difference between a slow, iterative power design process and a faster, more confident workflow. In this episode, Würth Elektronik and STMicroelectronics discuss how REDEXPERT and eDesignSuite help engineers improve component selection, compare performance results, and reduce debugging time. We walk through built-in component selection features, starting with inductor selection, and compare results across key design metrics such as AC losses, temperature rise, and efficiency impact. If you are looking for ways to shorten design cycles, improve simulation confidence, and make better power design decisions earlier in the process, this episode offers a useful, application-focused overview.
