STMicroelectronics' eDesignSuite is an easy-to-use comprehensive software suite ready to help engineers define their needs by transforming their application requirements into satisfactory solutions based on the wide range of ST products.

eDesignSuite Software

The suite includes three types of software tools:

Smart Simulator and System Design Engine
It can suggest products and topologies for various types of application link power conversion (SMPS, photovoltaic, and battery charger), LED lighting, signal conditioning, and RF design. The main features of this tool type are automatic proposal for complete solution or fully customizable design, fully annotated and interactive schematics, complete and interactive bill of materials, main current and voltage simulations, efficiency curves, Bode stability and power-loss data, and fully interactive transformer design.

Smart Product Selectors
This tool type is used to help select the products (for example, diodes) best suited to the engineer's application. The main features of this tool type are: part numbers proposed based on application electrical specifications, I-V curves comparison among several part numbers, and power losses calculated based on voltage/current target application waveforms.

Configurators
It is used to reduce implementation time and efforts for setting product parameters for the specific application (for example, STLUX and STNRG SMEDs for lighting and power, workbench for motor control). The main features of this tool type are SMED configurator schemes, input configuration, clock/comparators and ADC settings, FSM (finite state machine) configuration, C code generation, and load register setting on board in a click.
