TIDA-01168: PCB Design Help for a power stage: TINA to OrCAD

Part Number: TIDA-01168
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5170

Hello,

I'm a student trying to recreate the TIDA-01168 design; specifically, I'm looking to create a PCB design for the power stages.  

I already used TINA to simulate the power stage I wanted to test.  I now want to proceed in making a PCB design for the power stage I just simulated.  However, because my TINA software is the free version, I do not have access to the TINA PCB design conversion from schematic to PCB.  Because of this, I am redrawing the schematic on OrCAD and trying to create the PCB on that software.

However, I'm very unfamiliar with OrCAD and pspice in general.  I tried to recreate my schematic, but I'm having trouble with certain pins and connections.  I'm also unsure of how the process is supposed to be for PCB design as I am relying off of googling tutorials and getting information off of them.

If there are any tips one could share with me to transition my TINA schematic to OrCAD, that would be a great help to me.

Thank you,

Joseph Wong

    Hi Joseph,

    Thank you for considering the LM5170 in your design. The TIDA-01168 was designed in Altium, and you can download the design file at the webpage:

    https://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-01168

    On which you can find Download Design Files icon.  Then you should be able to import the Altium files to OrCAD.

    To transfer the TINA model to OrCAD, you may need the unencrypted model, which we can only share under NDA agreement.  Please reach out to the TI sales person in your region for the signing the NDA. 

    Thanks,
