TINA/Spice/TIDA-00446: TIDA-00446

Part Number: TIDA-00446
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI, , ISO5851

Tool/software: TINA-TI or Spice Models

Hello, I'm new in this forum, I'm even newer when it comes to the TIDA series of board. Problem, cannot buy this board fully assembled!?! So from here, where do I go? I'm looking on your website a process to ease the purchase at least the PCB, ready to be populated!?! None found!

So basically, I have to purchase all components, send the the PCB layout to a company to have the PCB manufactured?

As such, does TI has a supply chain of manufacturers of PCB and assembly?

I do not want to built, I want to test and evaluate.

Does TI sells an equivalent board as the TIDA-00446 that can be purchase, ready to test.

Regards,

Donald W.

  • Donald, hello and good morning. We appreciate your interest in Texas Instruments. This particular reference design board is not available for purchase. While we do have some TI designs available for purchase, most are not made available for purchase as part of our TI Designs strategy. Instead of providing customers with finished hardware boards (that may/may not provide exactly what the customer needs for their specific design/subsystem), we provide them with all the design files (gerbers, PCB layer plots, etc), schematics, test reports, and BOMs. In doing so, we enable the customers to build the design themselves and where applicable, modify to their own subsystem needs.

    TI doesn't have a supply chain of manufacturers that we would be able to recommend today, but it is our plan to develop such an offering in the coming year to enable customers like yourself to possibly have boards built for you. I have forwarded your query to our owning design team in India to determine if we have any sample boards available. Please allow them a few business days to respond.

    Best Regards,

  • Hello Donald, Unfortunately we do not have sample boards for this TI design available with us. As an alternate you can order below EVMs from ti store using which you should be able to evaluate the isolated gate driver.

    Also you can simulate the circuit in TINA spice using the models available in the ISO5851 tool folder.
