The virtual prototype schematic of a power supply circuit is an extremely efficient way to capture the intellectual property of a new design. In addition to capturing the schematic and parts list, saving a virtual prototype in a design data base facilitates the evaluation and reuse of this circuit in future applications.

Some of the key advantages of design reuse with SIMPLIS include:

»	Faster, more predictable design.
»	Enhanced understanding and improved application of circuits.
»	Lessons learned are systemically captured and disseminated.
»	Better control of design choices.
