TINA-TI: how to model a 50 Ohm microstrip line in simulation schematic?

Part Number: TINA-TI

Dear all,

I am trying to simulate the transmission of an digital signal what goes from component A to component B.
The simulation should consider electrical characteristics of:

output pin of component A
LC-filter (staright after output pin)
PCB-trace (50 Ohm impedance microstrip line, 35mm length)
input pin of component B
I am not sure how to model the microstrip line properly in the Tina-TI simulation schematic.
What would be the best way for incorperating the microstrip line in simulation?


Best regards
Dominik

    Hello Dominik,   

    Thank you for your inquiry about TINA.  Since TINA is a DesignSoft/TINA program, questions are handled by using the DesignSoft support page: http://www.tina.com/technical-support/  . 

    The DesignSoft/TINA team is very helpful and this is the most direct way for TINA support.  Please advise by clicking the "This resolved my issue" button when the issue has been resolved.    

    Regards,

    According to DesignSoft support there is a dedicated feature for including such microstrip lines in simulation. Unfortunately, this feature is not supported by Tina-TI. I would need to purchase a full version of Tina.

    Is there a way to model such a microstrip line by an equivalent circuit in simulation schematic maybe? Or would this be too tricky to get reliable results?

    Hi dominik,

    What is the IC used with this circuit?  We can see if the Product Group supporting that IC might have some techniques for this simulation.
