TINA Signal Generator delay setting

Milan,

There are several ways to add a delay to a voltage generator in TINA-TI. You will need to use the General waveform or Piecewise Linear sources shown here. You click on the ellipsis and the Singal Editor appears. The General waveform has several time sections you can use and is periodic. The PWL source can use any set of Time/Value pairs.

The General waveform looks like this. You can customize it to the waveform you want to see.

The PWL waveform can look like this:

If these two solutions do not fit your needs, you may also simply add a time controlled switch between your source and circuit and configure it how you see fit:

Hello Britt,

This is the snapshot.

Please could you tell me what am I doing wrong in setting the Switch Parameters?

I would expect Vout to be 0 after 230u seconds. HOwever Vout and VG1 are the same, the curves are overlapping.

Thank you.

Milan,

The voltage source will provide enouhg current to supply the 1V waveform regardless of the load. In this case, the switch is the only load, so it appears as if the switch is not present at all. If you add a resistive load to ground after the switch:

The resulting waveform is:

Alternatively, you can connect the switch in parallel with the source and add some source resistance and get the same result. You will have to change the switch configuration to being OFF at DC and turning on at the point you want to delay and turning off at the point you want to pass the waveform again.

Thank you Britt.

All the best,

Milan
