With the semiconductor industry on the road to recovery, executives face a major issue:

How do we offer superior technical support to a diverse and global customer base?

Diverse and global usually calls for the Internet... but how?

Today’s engineers access the web as their primary and most widely used resource for product information. Manufacturer and distributor web sites as well as a number of specialized search engines make it easy to find a wealth of information. Endless datasheets, application notes, and marketing collateral are available mostly leaving it to the user to figure out, how to use the information and how to build a working design.

This paper discusses how Transim is implementing a new solution for application support – delivering a scalable web-based platform for automatic reference design generation and verification. Transim’s Design Center Technology guides engineers through an interactive design process, helping them to find the right products and to automatically generate custom reference designs complete with BOM and order fulfillment options. The engineer can instantly verify and test their design online using Transim’s proprietary WebSIM® technology deploying a variety of simulation engines.
