Original question:

TINA/Spice/TPS63030: How do I add the "PSPICE Transient Model" & utilize it in TINA-TI?

TINA/Spice/TPS63020: Need simulation model for TPS63030 & TPS63020 for TINA-TI. TI Local Rep??

Part Number: TPS63020
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI, , TPS63030

Tool/software: TINA-TI or Spice Models

I was told that there is no model for TINA-TI for these two converters available easily.    That is most unfortunate.    Linear Technology/ADI  provides models for all their converters and easy to simulate using LTSPICE.   Why does TI not provide the same level of support?   What is the trouble with providing these specific models to engineers?   Why are these models not provided with the installation of TINA-TI?   So many questions, no where to get answers. 

I was told I need to find my local TI Representative in order to get these models.   I have zero idea about how to do that.   There is no number I can call.   There is no "Find Your TI Rep" link anywhere on ti's website here.   I don't have a TI rep.  I am an engineer trying to evaluate these components for possible introduction into a product line.   The lack of a model is affecting my ability to do this.   So, how do I find a TI Rep and how can I do this quickly?   I cannot wait weeks for a response, otherwise we are forced to choose LT/ADI devices that already have an easily obtainable model and simulation.

Thank you for reading, please help.

    Hi Adam,

    TINA-TI model is available for TPS63020 and you can get it from below link.

    TPS63020 TINA-TI Transient Reference Design

    We do try to provide models at time of installation of TINA-TI and you can get some of them under Spice Macros Tab.

    There is also Sim export option on our WEBENCH® Power Designer tool (Try it now) where you can export and download TINA-TI schematic for the corner provided by user. You can go through below document to know more about Sim export.

    Export TINA-TI Transient Spice Model from WEBENCH (Rev. A)

    The sim export is enabled for TPS63020.

    You need to contact TI support if you need an unencrypted Pspice model of a device. Here is the link for TI support.

    Unfortunately, TPS63020 and TPS63030 unencrypted SPICE models are not available for distribution. I apologize for any inconvenience.

    I will check and see if we can upload TPS63030 TINA-TI model at ti.com but that can take some time (15 days to one month or so) due to our bandwidth limitations.

    You can search and get all our available Spice models using below link.

    SpiceRack

    You can search use similar device with TINA or with unencrypted Pspice model for your application.

    Feel free to contact us if you have any questions and other queries.

    Thank you for the "SpiceRack" link ... I had no idea such a thing even existed.  It does not seem to be advertised on the product site or ti.com in general.  Very useful.  Yes, I have what I require now.   Thank you for the prompt response, it is much appreciated.
