Tina Design Suite 9 3: How to Create Custom Components and Symbols



TINA is a product of DesignSoft exclusively for Texas Instruments. This complimentary version is fully functional but does not support some other features available with the full version of TINA.For a complete list of available TINA-TI models, see: SpiceRack -- A Complete List Need HSpice models to aid in your design? Our HSpice model collection can be found here.


In this book, top-selling Elektor author, Prof. Dr. Dogan Ibrahim aims to teach the design and analysis of electrical and electronic circuits and develop PCB boards using both TINA and TINACloud. The book is aimed at electrical/electronic engineers, undergraduate electronic/electrical engineering students at technical colleges and universities, postgraduate and research students, teachers, and hobbyists. Many tested and working simulation examples are provided covering most fields of analogue and digital electrical/electronic engineering. These include AC and DC circuits, diodes, zener diodes, transistor circuits, operational amplifiers, ladder diagrams, 3-phase circuits, mutual inductance, rectifier circuits, oscillators, active and passive filter circuits, digital logic, VHDL, MCUs, switch-mode power supplies, PCB design, Fourier series, and spectrum. Readers do not need to have any programming experience unless they wish to simulate complex MCU circuits.

1.) The input filter cap should probably be 100uF or less. I doubt that 100mF is what was actually recommended in the datasheet (I'm thinking typo or a bad translation from micro to m). The battery example was actually built and functioned using the 10uF, and the other reference design that I am aware of used a 4.7u input capacitor. Really, I am guessing that the input source may have more to do with the specification than the IC. That being said, I am assuming that 100uF or less should be satisfactory. Don't forget that the capacitance specified by manufacturers is at 0V and you should derate as necessary...


2.) The zener diode used in the other applications was the 1N5819, which has a BV of 40V. I used the MBRS1100T3 because it has a BV of 100V (and I had used it previously...). The value should be driven by the output voltage value. The 100V value should allow you to use it with ANY application (in simulation, I have no idea what you will eventually use, so I am not constrained be a normal design constraint!). I'm guessing for most cases, the 40V device would be fine. I like the 2X rule of thumb for the output voltage (BV>2 x Vout), but that's just me...


Toolkit for Interactive Network Analysis (TINA) is a SPICE-based electronics design and training software by DesignSoft of Budapest.[1] Its features include analog, digital, and mixed circuit simulations, and printed circuit board (PCB) design.[2]


TINA was created and developed by DesignSoft, a Hungarian company in Budapest. The first Windows version was released in 1993 as TINA 4.0 for analog, digital, and mixed circuits.[3] TINA 9.0 also includes microcontroller (MCU) simulation, RF network analysis, optimization, and printed circuit board design.[2] TINA development was at version 10, released in 2013, and is at major version 11 since 2016.[4] Since 2004, TINA-TI is a free limited version for the support of integrated circuits and applications licensed by Texas Instruments.[5]


TINA software is available in installable and cloud-based versions. Feature versions exist for use in industry[6] and for educational use.[2][7] TINA allows simulation, design, and real-time testing of hardware description language (HDL), such as VHDL, VHDL-AMS, Verilog, Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog and SystemC and for microcontroller (MCU) circuits,[2] as well as mixed electronic circuits including switched-mode power supply,[6][8] RF,[9] communication, and optoelectronics circuits.With the integrated and third-party flowchart tools,[10] generation and debugging of MCU code is also possible both in digital and mixed circuit environments.TINA Design Suite includes an integrated layout module for designing multilayer PCB's with split power plane layers, auto-placement & auto-routing, rip-up and reroute, manual and "follow-me" trace placement, DRC, forward and back annotation, pin and gate swapping, keep-in and keep-out areas, copper pour, thermal relief, fan-out, 3D view of the PCB design, Gerber file, and CNC (G-code) output.[2]


TINA Design Suite is a powerful yet affordable circuit simulation and PCB design software package for analyzing, designing, and real time testing of analog, digital, VHDL, MCU, and mixed electronic circuits and their PCB layouts. You can also analyze SMPS, RF, communication, and optoelectronic circuits; generate and debug MCU code using the integrated flowchart tool; and test microcontroller applications in a mixed circuit environment. A unique feature of TINA is that you can bring your circuit to life with the optional USB controlled TINALab II and LogiXplorer hardware, which turns your computer into a powerful, multifunction T&M instrument. Electrical engineers will find TINA an easy to use, high performance tool, while educators will welcome its unique features for the training environment.
