TINA-TI is a powerful, easy-to-use circuit simulation program for designing, simulating, and analyzing analog electronic circuits. The free Windows-based software program is available for downloading. Installed within the program is an extensive library of macromodels for precision and high-speed amplifiers. Example circuits for each macromodel show simulation results and serve as an excellent starting point for more complex designs.

TINA-TI, a special complimentary version of TINA PRO prepared by DesignSoft exclusively for TI, offers extensive analysis options. The fully functional program can simulate two IC macromodels. 

Based on a SPICE simulation engine, TINA-TI features an intuitive schematic entry and capture screen. Components are chosen from convenient toolbars, enabling easy circuit entry and modification. Analysis options include DC, AC, transient, Fourier, and noise. Virtual instruments such as a function generator, a multimeter, an oscilloscope, an X-Y recorder, and a signal analyzer provide an alternative to standard analysis with the familiar appearance and function of common laboratory instruments.

Simulation results appear in separate windows with versatile scaling, formatting, and annotation capabilities. Schematics and simulation results can be easily pasted into presentations and e-mails.

TINA-TI, which runs in Windows, is free for downloading (approximately 20 MB) at www.ti.com/tina-ti. Full-featured versions of TINA PRO that provide extended analysis options and unlimited circuit sizes are available from DesignSoft at prices starting at $360.
