The sensitivity of various topologies to component tolerances is readily analyzed by Optenni Lab’s tolerance analysis feature, and the topology list can be automatically sorted to provide the least sensitive as the top performing candidate.

The properties of all manufactured inductors and capacitors always differ somewhat from the nominal performance. Optenni Lab provides a one-click tolerance analysis to analyze the effect of component tolerances to the performance. Our component libraries include information about the available tolerance variants, so that the expected performance variation due to tigher or looser variants can easily be compared.

A unique feature in Optenni Lab is the automatic execution of the tolerance analysis for all topology candidates (possibly hundreds of them) and re-sorting the design candidate list according to the tolerance sensitivity.

Nominal performance is good, but the design is sensitive to component tolerances.

Nominal performance is good, but the design is sensitive to component tolerances.

This circuit has moderate nominal performance, but it is very insensitive to component tolerances.
