TINA has an SPST and SPDT switch. Is there any way to get other configurations?

Jonathan9420,

You can always import a PSpice model for a SP3T device into TINA-TI. I found the following TI part that may be useful:

It has a TINA-TI reference design available.

Well I am looking for physical switches like the ones above, not switch ICs.

Hi Jonathan,

Can you use 2 SPDT in series?

Thanks,
JC

Jonathan,

There don't seem to be any other configurations for the type of switch that is actuated by a mouse-click.

If you are willing to use voltage-controlled switches, you can create a SP3T switch by cobbling together six SPST switches and adjusting their thresholds.

An example of a SP3T switch using voltage-controlled switches is in the attached circuit file.

John
