Hi Willem,

can you post your TINA-TI file?

Hello Kai

File attached below , although I think it has been inserted as a link ?

The cct is the start of a power supply for a cct that is having unexplained failures of a downstream TVS diode.  I am building up the cct bit by bit as I am  unfamilier with TINA-TI, so I am trying to understand what I can do with it.  D7 is at fault open but I still volts at VM2 on the CRO tool.

leonard has advised in the next post, to post on the design soft site which I will do as well.  Not sure why it ended up on the amplifier forum.

Hi Willem,

I think this is one of the features that isn't supported in the free version.

Thanks for the feedback :-)
