11.1.1.1 TINA-TI™ (Free Software Download)

TINA™ is a simple, powerful, and easy-to-use circuit simulation program based on a SPICE engine. TINA-TI™ is a free, fully-functional version of the TINA software, preloaded with a library of macro models in addition to a range of both passive and active models. TINA-TI provides all the conventional dc, transient, and frequency domain analysis of SPICE, as well as additional design capabilities.

Available as a free download from the Analog eLab Design Center, TINA-TI offers extensive post-processing capability that allows users to format results in a variety of ways. Virtual instruments offer the ability to select input waveforms and probe circuit nodes, voltages, and waveforms, creating a dynamic quick-start tool.

11.1.1.2 DIP Adapter EVM

The DIP Adapter EVM tool provides an easy, low-cost way to prototype small surface mount ICs. The evaluation tool these TI packages: D or U (8-pin SOIC), PW (8-pin TSSOP), DGK (8-pin VSSOP), DBV (6-pin SOT-23, 5-pin SOT23, and 3-pin SOT-23), DCK (6-pin SC-70 and 5-pin SC-70), and DRL (6-pin SOT-563). The DIP Adapter EVM may also be used with terminal strips or may be wired directly to existing circuits.

11.1.1.3 Universal Op Amp EVM

The Universal Op Amp EVM is a series of general-purpose, blank circuit boards that simplify prototyping circuits for a variety of IC package types. The evaluation module board design allows many different circuits to be constructed easily and quickly. Five models are offered, with each model intended for a specific package type. PDIP, SOIC, VSSOP, TSSOP and SOT-23 packages are all supported.
