You can now alter your circuit load while the simulation is running. The virtual LM2596 will dynamically adjust its PWM duty cycle. This mirrors the behavior of physical integrated circuits (ICs). 3.

The updated library is not a final release. According to recent Labcenter roadmap announcements:
has been officially updated to provide better stability, more accurate switching models, and seamless integration for both fixed and adjustable buck converter designs | Feature | Legacy Library (v1
Previous user-made libraries sometimes omitted the ON/OFF pin functionality. The updated library includes fully operational control pins, allowing you to simulate shutdown modes and micro-controller-driven power toggling. 4. Integrated ARES PCB Footprints
