MILPITAS, Calif., May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a leading provider of innovative power management and precision analog solutions today unveiled PowerNavigator(TM) version 5.2, a free, downloadable graphical user interface (GUI) that helps system designers quickly configure, validate and monitor their power supply architectures. The new features included in PowerNavigator 5.2 enable a high degree of power supply optimization. Combined with the drag-and-drop GUI interface, PowerNavigator 5.2 makes it straightforward to change features and functions of a digital power supply design without writing a single line of code.

The PowerNavigator 5.2 software GUI allows for configuration and monitoring of Intersil's portfolio of PMBus(TM)-enabled digital power products, including digital regulators, controllers, multiphase devices, power modules, and digital power monitors. Using a PC, USB interface and a few mouse clicks, designers can configure and change any parameter, telemetry or rail sequencing for their digital power supply. Intersil's PowerNavigator version 5.2 includes three new innovations:


    --  PowerMap adds more real-time information to the power rail blocks, such
        as device name, phase count, output voltage, output current, PMBus
        addresses, and current sharing capability. This additional information
        helps users more quickly visualize their system. PowerMap's realistic
        system level view, with zoom-in/out and scrolling, replicates a system
        with multiple power rails delivering point-of-load current to ASICs,
        processors, DSPs or FPGAs.
    --  Rail Inspector quickly guides users through the power supply parameters
        set up. Rail Inspector brings up rail name and shows the number of
        devices, device address and status, as well as important supply
        parameters: input voltage, switching frequency, output voltage, and load
        current. Device options include clock synchronizing, sequencing, and
        current sharing. Users can then load and save configuration files in
        both text and hex formats.
    --  RailScope simplifies system validation, giving users the ability to plot
        all device telemetry - such as input voltage, output voltage, output
        current and temperature - for up to four rails at a time. RailScope's
        system logging feature automatically logs telemetry and fault data for
        later analysis.

PowerNavigator 5.2 Features Summary 


    --  Graphical monitoring makes display easy to read with entire system on
        one page
    --  Visual sequencing lets users sequence up and down multiple rails using
        drag-and-drop
    --  Fault monitoring tells user exactly why a rail shut down in a fault
        condition, speeding system development
    --  Full support for Intersil digital power products including
        point-of-load, digital regulators, multiphase, power module, and digital
        power monitors, covering a wide range of applications
    --  Configuration files can be created, saved and loaded for production
        programming, speeding system development
    --  Full projects can be saved, allowing configuration settings to easily be
        transferred from board-to-board during system development
