PSPICE-FOR-TI: Superiority of PSPICE-FOR-TI over TINA-TI

Expert 5595 points
Part Number: PSPICE-FOR-TI
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI

Hi Team,

When I introduced the PSPICE-FOR-TI to customers, I was asked the followings,

 - Please tell them about superiority of PSPICE-FOR-TI over TINA-TI (reference information for rough usage, etc.) and future trends of TINA-TI (such as disappearance).

 - Does the PSPICE-FOR-TI have a semiconductor loss calculation function?

I look forward to your reply.
Thank you.

Best Regards,

Koshi Ninomiya

    Koshi-san,

    We will continue to support TINA-TI. 
    There are no planned changes to support of this tool.

    I am not familiar with the semiconductor loss function.
    Do you have an example of this?

    Regards,
    John

    Hi John-san,

    Do you have any advice on the proper use of PSPICE-FOR-TI and TINA-TI?
    PSPICE-FOR-TI is suitable for what?
    TINA-TI is suitable for what?

    About the semiconductor loss function, in case of power device simulation, dose PSPICE-FOR-TI have switching loss calculation function?

    Best Regards,

    Koshi Ninomiya

    Koshi-san,

    A brief comparison between Pspice for TI and TINA-TI are shown in the table below:

     

    PSpice

    TINA

    AC, Noise, BIAS Point, DC Sweep, TRAN, Fourier

    Yes

    Yes

    Variable Sweeps

    Yes

    Yes

    Monte Carlo, Worst Case Sensitivity

    Yes

    No

    Devices in Internal Library

    5300

    ~1300

    Automatic Library Updates

    Yes

    No

    Dedicated user forums access from tool?

    Yes

    Yes

    Do you have an example of how to calculate the switching loss function?

    I searched on Pspice.com using "switching loss function" and found an applications note that shows an example of how to simulate switching losses in Pspice. You can find the applications note at the link below. I hope it helps.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.
