Spice Simulation.
TINA has one on the most powerful and best
converging Berkely Spice and XSpice based Spice
simulator engine on the market, supporting most
Spice dialects with parallelised processing and
precompiled models. In addition to the large Spice
component libraries in TINA, you can create new TINA
components from any Spice subcircuit, whether
created by yourself, downloaded from the Internet,
obtained from a manufacturer's CD or from portions
of schematics turned into subcircuits. TINA
automatically represents these subcircuits as a
rectangular block, but you can create any shape you
like with TINA's Schematic Symbol Editor. You can
also use TINA's parameter extractor program to
calculate model parameters from catalog or
measurement data and then add the new devices into
the catalog.
HDL simulation.
TINA now includes all major analog, digital and
mixed Hardware Description Languag es: VHDL, Verilog,
Verilog-A and Verilog AMS to verify designs in
analog, digital and mixed-signal analog-digital
environments. Your circuits can contain editable HDL
blocks from the libraries of TINA and Xilinx or
other HDL components created by yourself or
downloaded from the Internet. TINA compiles HDL into
highly efficient machine code for speed
optimization. You can freely combine HDL and Spice
macros and the schematic components of TINA. Also
you can edit the HDL source of any HDL components
then simulate and see the result instantly. With the
built in HDL debugger you can execute the HDL code
step-by-step, add breakpoints, watchpoints, display
variable information and more. In addition to the
large component libraries in TINA, you can create
new TINA components from HDL subcircuit.
Microcontroller (MCU) simulation.
TINA includes a wide range of microcontrollers (PIC,
AVR, 8051, HCS, ARM) which you can test, debug and
run interactively. The built in MCU assembler allows
you to modify your assembler code and see the result
promptly. You can also program and debug MCUs with
the built-in flowchart tool or in C using external C
compilers.
Super-fast multi-core engine.
Every year, electronic circuits become faster and
more complex, and therefore require more and more
computational power to analyze their operation. To
meet this requirement TINA v9 has the ability to
utilize the increasingly popular scalable
multi-thread CPUs. Computers that incorporate dual
or quad core CPUs can deliver up to 20-times faster
execution time for TINA's analysis engine compared
to previous versions and main competitors.
Open from the Web!
Now you can open TINA designs, models and libraries
as well as Import Spice .CIR and .LIB files directly
from the Web. See our TINA Circuits on Web page
where you will find interesting electronic circuit
files and links to other websites with circuits and
libraries which you can open directly from the web
and then simulate with TINA.
Easy to use schematic entry
. Enter any circuit within minutes with TINA's
easy-to-use schematic editor. Enhance your
schematics by adding text and graphics elements such
lines, arcs arrows, frames around the schematics and
title blocks. Choose components from the large
library containing more than 20,000 manufacturer
models. You can check schematics for errors with
TINA's advanced ERC functions. The schematic editor
supports complex hierarchical designs, team design
and version control.
Powerful analysis tools
. Analyze your circuit through more than 20
different analysis modes or with 10 high tech
virtual instruments. Present your results in TINA's
sophisticated diagram windows, on virtual
instruments, or in the live interactive mode where
you can even edit your circuit during operation,
develop, run, debug and test HDL & MCU applications.
Design Tool.
This powerful tool works with the design equations
of your circuit to ensure that the specified inputs
result in the specified output response. The tool
offers you a solution engine that you can use to
solve repetitively and accurately for various
scenarios. The calculated component values are
automatically set in place in the companion TINA
schematic and you can check the result by
simulation. This new feature is also very useful for
semiconductor and other electronics component
manufacturers to provide application circuits along
with the design procedure.
Optimization.
Using TINA's built-in Optimization tool unknown
circuit parameters can be determined automatically
so that the network can produce a predefined target
output values, minimum or maximum. Optimization is
useful not only in the design of electronic
circuits, but also in teaching, to construct
examples and problems. It is a very good tool to
refine the results provided by a design procedure or
tune already working circuits.
Integrated PCB design
. The new fully integrated layout module of TINA has
all the features you need for advanced PCB design,
including multilayer PCB's with split power plane
layers, powerful autoplacement & autorouting, rip-up
and reroute, manual and "follow-me" trace placement,
DRC, forward and back annotation, pin and gate
swapping, keep-in and keep-out areas, copper pour,
thermal relief, fanout, 3D view of your PCB design
from any angle, Gerber file output and much more.
Advanced presentation tools
. Make stand-out reports and presentations of
schematic diagrams, annotations, formulas provided
by symbolic analysis, Bode plots, Nyquist diagrams,
poles and zeros, transient responses, digital
waveforms, and other data using linear or
logarithmic scales. Customize presentations using
TINA's advanced drawing tools to control text,
fonts, axes, line width, color and layout. You can
create, edit and print documents directly inside
TINA or cut & paste your results into your favorite
word processing or DTP package.
Educational tools
. Educational tools. TINA also includes unique tools
for testing students' knowledge, monitoring progress
and introducing troubleshooting techniques. With
optional hardware it can be used to test real
circuits for comparison with the results obtained
from simulation. With the Live 3D breadboard tool
you can automatically build a life-like 3D picture
of a solderless breadboard. When you run TINA in
interactive mode, components like switches, LEDs,
instruments, etc. become "live" and will work on the
virtual breadboard just as in reality. You can use
this capability of TINA to prepare and document lab
experiments. You can also use the integrated
Flowchart Editor and Debugger to generate and debug
the MCU code, learning and teaching microcontroller
programming.
