New Release of Tina - TI Spice (Version 7 )

[[email protected]]

I was at the TI website this morning and saw the following post about
Tina-TI.

========================================================
TINA-TIâ„¢ Version 7.0 will be released shortly. Keep an eye on this
page for the new version 7.0 that has changes from Version 6.0 in the
following areas:

TINA-TI provides support for switching power supply devices.
TINA-TI has no limit to circuit size.
TINA-TI has more SPICE models and example circuits included.
User will be notified when a update is available for the tool and TI
model library.
TINA-TI now supports SMPS simulation capability.
Circuits developed in TINA-TI 7.0 will work with TINA Industrial.

========================================================

Version 6 was badly crippled with 2 IC and 20 node restriction. This
will be an interesting alternative to LTSpice if it allows user
creation of new parts. I presently use LTSpice and find it very
useful.

TINA-TI might be able to handle larger circuits but it is still badly
crippled compared to the various versions of TINA DesignSoft sells.
All of the features that might make one try TINA-TI for doing some
things LTSpice isn't suitable for are not available in TINA-TI.

Hey guys,

There is a free electronics circuit simulator available called
CircuitLogix, and it is much better than TINA. Check it out. You can
download the free electronics simulation software at the CIrcuitLogix
website: www.CircuitLogix.com. Its quite an amazing simulator and
the best part is that it is free. Its not too often that you find
free electronics circuit simulation and especially something this
powerful. It blows TINA away.

Not heard of LTSpice then?

Hi Ian,

The $249 price is for the full version. The free student download has
most of the features except for a device editor and 3DLab - which is
only useful for DC fundamentals.

No good if you are not a student then. And LTSpice is fully featured and
totally free.
