Analog Devices, the US-based semiconductor manufacturer, has unveiled a new suite of design tools aimed at simplifying and accelerating the development of increasingly complex power systems.
The company’s latest offering, ADI Power Studio, brings together a group of products that combine advanced modelling, component recommendations, and efficiency analysis with simulation tools. The platform aims to help engineers design more efficient, power-dense systems from concept to validation.
Alongside the launch, Analog Devices introduced two new web-based tools — ADI Power Studio Planner and ADI Power Studio Designer — which offer what the firm describes as a modernised, integrated approach to power system design.
“ADI Power Studio is more than a set of tools — it’s a design ecosystem,” said Robert Reay, Vice President and Fellow of Power Products at Analog Devices. “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, so they can deliver solutions to their customers faster.”
As electronics become more power-hungry and complex, engineers face growing challenges in managing multiple power rails and interdependent voltage domains. Analog Devices said its new suite addresses these challenges by offering an intuitive workflow that simulates real-world performance, automates tasks such as bill of materials generation, and supports faster decision-making earlier in the design cycle.
The Power Studio Planner provides an interactive, system-level view that allows engineers to model power distribution, calculate losses, and analyse efficiency. With built-in parametric search and trade-off comparisons, the tool is designed to improve decision-making at the architecture stage.
The Power Studio Designer, meanwhile, focuses on IC-level design. It provides optimised component recommendations, tailored efficiency analyses, and guided workflows to help engineers configure and simulate power supply designs before moving to hardware testing. Both tools are integrated with LTspice and SIMPLIS schematics — two established simulation platforms widely used in the power electronics industry.
The company said Power Studio complements its existing suite of software tools, including LTspice, LTpowerCAD, and EE-Sim, and represents the first phase of its plan to build a fully connected power design workflow.
