12.1.2.1 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.

12.1.2.2 DIP Adapter EVM

The DIP Adapter EVM tool provides an easy, low-cost way to prototype small surface mount devices. The evaluation tool these TI packages: D or U (SOIC-8), PW (TSSOP-8), DGK (VSSOP-8), DBV (SOT23-6, SOT23-5 and SOT23-3), DCK (SC70-6 and SC70-5), and DRL (SOT563-6). The DIP Adapter EVM may also be used with terminal strips or may be wired directly to existing circuits.

12.1.2.3 Universal Operational Amplifier EVM

The Universal Op Amp EVM is a series of general-purpose, blank circuit boards that simplify prototyping circuits for a variety of device 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.
