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.

Restore Defaults button to revert all fields back to
their original values.
