Power net portal is a special schematic object used to define a power or ground net. Power ports allow you to conveniently indicate a power net at any location in the design. Power nets of the same designator automatically connect throughout your design #portal #power
A generic fixed inductor for rapid developing circuit topology. *You can now change the footprint and 3D model at the top level anytime you want. This is the power of #generics
I'm sorry to hear that you're not satisfied with your experience with Flux Copilot. As an AI assistant, I'm here to help you design electronic circuit schematics and PCB layouts more efficiently. If you're facing any specific issues or have questions about how to use Flux Copilot, please let me know. I'm here to assist you.
I'm sorry for the confusion, but as an AI text-based model, I'm unable to draw or create visual content. However, I can guide you through the process of creating a simple SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supply) circuit in Flux.
Here are the general steps:
Add Components: Start by adding the necessary components to your project. For a basic SMPS, you'll need a power switch (like a MOSFET), a diode, an inductor, a capacitor, and a load resistor. You can add these components from the Flux library.
Connect Components: Connect the components as follows:
Connect the input voltage source to the drain of the MOSFET.
Connect the source of the MOSFET to the ground.
Connect the diode, inductor, and capacitor in series from the drain of the MOSFET.
Connect the load resistor across the capacitor.
Set Component Values: Set the values of the components according to your design requirements. For example, you might set the inductor to a few microhenries and the capacitor to a few microfarads.
Simulate: Once you've connected everything, you can simulate the circuit. In Flux, the simulator is always on, so you just need to make the metrics visible to see the simulation results. Select the part you want to watch and expand the "Simulation" menu on the top right to make them visible.
Remember, this is a very simplified version of an SMPS. Real-world designs would include a feedback mechanism to regulate the output voltage, among other complexities.
If you need more specific guidance, please provide more details about the type of SMPS you're trying to design (buck, boost, buck-boost, etc.), and the specific components you're using.
