3.2 Specifying Input, Output, and Other Design Requirements

EE-Sim fills in default design requirements for the part you selected. Use this

procedure to edit those values before generating a schematic.

1. On the

Design Requirements page:

a. In the

Input Requirements section, enter your input values in

each field.

b. In the

Output Requirements section, enter your output values in

each field.

c. In the

Design Criteria section, enter your settings in each field.

2. If available, click

Show Advanced to view additional requirements. Click

Hide Advanced to hide the additional requirements and simplify the

current page.

Note: Even though you may choose not to view them, hidden advanced requirements

are still used in the design.

3. Apply any of the following tips to save time and improve accuracy:

a. Press the

Tab key to move to the next field.

b. Verify that the values you enter are in the correct field and in the

required units.

c. In some browsers, such as Internet Explorer 10, you can click a

small

x to clear the value of a field.

d. In fields that require a limited set of acceptable values, you can

enter a value using any of the following methods:

• Click the drop-down menu icon and choose a value.
• Type the first digit of the closest matching value.
• Press the

Tab key to enter the field and then press the Up or

Down arrow keys.

4. A message may appear when your value is not acceptable. Read the tip,

click

OK, and adjust the value as advised. The tool automatically inserts

a suggested value.

5. (Optional) Click the

Restore Defaults button to revert all fields back to

their original values.
