4.3 Modifying System Power Schematics
4.3.1 Adding and Connecting Product Components
You can add, connect, and change components directly in the schematic.
1. Open a system power design and click the View Schematic tab.
2. To add a component, click Add Component and choose a component
from the menu. You can select converters, an input power supply, an
additional load, or another processor.
3. Move the component to a specific location and click in the grid to position
it there.
4. To connect components, drag circuit connection lines by their points and
release your mouse button at the end point or to make a 90° turn in the
line.
Note: To correct a mistake, click the Undo icon in the toolbar. To remove unwanted
objects, use the Marquee Select tool to draw a box around them using your
mouse and click the Delete icon to delete all objects in the marquee box.
5. Refer to the examples described in the following graphic to complete any
additional tasks. For example, you can print, zoom, add wire, and check
a design for errors.
6. Click Save.
7. (Optional) When you make a conscious choice to click Check Design or
a passive choice to navigate away from the View Schematic page,
EE-Sim validates the following design rules:
• The voltages on a given connection match.
• The required current is less than the supplied current.
• The power out is equal to 80% of input power.
• Loads do not have multiple sources.
