Sauna V4.4 New Features List
Significant expansion of Sauna's component library
- more power MOSFET packages (TOLL, TDSON-8, TSDSON-8 (shrink),
TDSON-8 Dual, Super SO8, S308)
- diodes (SMA, SMB, SMC, SOD123F)
- many more LED packages
- PLCC generic (PLCC-2, Mini PLCC-2, 3x1.4 PLCC-2, PLCC-4, PLCC-4/Slug,
PLCC-6/RGB)
- Nichia (PLCC-2, 2x1.4 Plastic, 3x1.4 Plastic, 3x3 Plastic, 3x3 Ceramic,
3.5x3.5 Ceramic, 3.5x3.5 Ceramic with thermal pad)
- Osram (TopLED, PowerTopLED, Mini TopLED, 3x1.4 TopLED, MULTILED,
Duris E2/E5/P5/P8/P10/S2/S5/S10, Oslon Black, Oslon Signal,
Oslon Square)
- Cree (ML-E, XB-D, XH-B, XM-L, XP-C, XT-E)
More detailed thermal data for library components
- power MOSFETS: separate thermal resistance for source
and gate, in addition to the Rjc for the drain
- LED's: thermal resistance data provided for both cathode and anode
A number of packages have been added to Sauna's library
Multi-die packages now supported
- Sauna V4.4 includes TDSON dual and PLCC-6/RGB,
- entire multi-die package is added in one step, but you can separately
modify wattage and duty cycle for each die
- additional multi-die packages in future releases
Faster creation of heatsinking pads and traces
- when pads are first created, you can specify a special heatsinking pad
size and create traces, all with a single command
- these features available for all component types, including SOT-223,
LED's, diodes, etc.
Smarter mesh alignment
- for components which are cooled through external tabs, such as the SOT-223
and PLCC-2/4, Sauna aligns the mesh to match the external tab
- greatly simplifies mesh alignment for these components
New editing options for enhanced sources
- Directly specify junction-to-top resistance
- Edit interface type underneath component (air gap, greased, epoxy, etc.)
- Edit body material to easily switch between plastic, ceramic or user defined
material
Better shade mode drawing of traces and pads (smart edge suppression)
Many other refinements, additional details in release notes
Pricing: no change to pricing schedule
