TPS62135: No models/parts in PSpice Parts Search

Michael Ferrara1

Part Number: TPS62135

Hello,

I just downloaded and opened up a new PSpice simulation file. According to the videos I should be able to click on the PSpice Part Search icon and see a list of TI components, but I see an empty window. I did not have any issues downloading or installing the software so curious if there may be another step in order to bring those in? I did not see any information regarding a next step being necessary as I assumed the models would be loaded and ready for use.

Could use some direction to get me started and find the TI models that are available for use. Thank you.

    Hi Michael,

    If the device is not showing up in PSPICE for TI, you can also download the PSPICE files from the TI.com product folder and import into the design.

    I would try creating a new project, then there will be a side window docked for PSPICE part search.

    Alternatively, you can also go to the top tab Place>PSPICE Component>Search..., after there is an active project/schematic opened.

    Let me know if that helps.

    Thanks,

    Joseph

    What I was referring to is when I installed PSpice for TI I assumed it would come preloaded with a number of TI parts already. However, when I click on PSpice Parts Search I have a completely blank window. The video on the TI website, the first instructional one, shows how you select the PSpice Parts Search and you should then see a whole host of TI parts to use in your simulation, but I see nothing. I opened a completely brand new project, named it as a PSpice simulation file, etc and this is what happened. What would you suggest I do to rectify this issue?

    Hi Michael,

    Can you capture what you are seeing within PSPICE for TI? It should come loaded with all the TI devices.

    Also, what video are you referring to? 

    Thanks,

    Joseph

    I just created this by New Project. When prompted I selected Blank new schematic. You can see the PSpice Parts Search window to the right.

    Hi Michael,

    I haven't encountered this issue before.

    However, I have a couple suggestions:

    1) Can you try to reinstall the TI part models by going  (Help>"Reinstall TI Models and libraries") within PSPICE for TI

    2) If the first doesn't work, you can also try uninstalling PSPICE for TI and reinstalling.

    Thanks,

    Joseph

    I think I figured out my issue. I have OrCAD as my schematic editor and layout tool and so the PSpice for TI kind of defaults its logo to the same one for OrCAD and I think I opened an OrCAD file not a PSpice for TI file. When I did that I was able to see the parts.
