Analog Devices has introduced ADI Power Studio, a comprehensive suite of design tools that unifies modeling, simulation, component selection, and efficiency analysis for power management engineers. The platform provides an integrated design environment that accelerates the development of complex, power-dense electronic systems.
As part of this launch, ADI unveiled early versions of two new web-based tools — ADI Power Studio Planner and ADI Power Studio Designer — offering engineers a modern, intuitive experience for both system-level and IC-level power design. These tools complement ADI’s established portfolio, which includes LTspice, SIMPLIS, LTpowerCAD, LTpowerPlanner, EE-Sim, LTpowerPlay, and LTpowerAnalyzer.
Today’s power systems are increasingly complex, with multiple voltage domains and hundreds of interdependent power rails. ADI Power Studio addresses these challenges by providing a unified workflow that helps teams simulate real-world performance early in the design process. Engineers can perform accurate modeling, evaluate tradeoffs, generate bills of materials, and optimize architectures — all within a single ecosystem.
Robert Reay, Vice President and Fellow for Power Products at ADI, described the launch as a significant step forward. “ADI Power Studio is more than a set of tools — it’s a design ecosystem,” he said. “By integrating system- and IC-level capabilities into one platform, we’re enabling engineers to streamline design and deliver solutions to customers faster.”
ADI Power Studio Planner enables interactive, web-based power tree planning, allowing engineers to visualize architectures, calculate losses, and analyze efficiency with intelligent parametric search and design tradeoffs.
ADI Power Studio Designer provides IC-level optimization with guided workflows for selecting components, estimating performance, and running detailed efficiency simulations using LTspice and SIMPLIS before moving to hardware testing.
Together, these tools create a connected workflow from concept to evaluation, reducing rework, shortening development cycles, and supporting engineers as they design next-generation, high-efficiency power systems.
