line:84% the free simulator from Texas Instruments. 00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:14.010 align:middle line:84% In this video, we will show you how to obtain the software, 00:00:14.010 --> 00:00:17.390 align:middle line:84% download it and install it on your computer, 00:00:17.390 --> 00:00:20.610 align:middle line:84% and give you a quick tutorial of the graphical user 00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:23.760 align:middle line:90% interface of TINA-TI. 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.240 align:middle line:84% In order to obtain the downloadable version 00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:32.670 align:middle line:84% of TINA-TI, simply go to ti.com, on the Tools and Software link, 00:00:32.670 --> 00:00:35.570 align:middle line:84% and the TINA-TI Free SPICE Simulator Tool. 00:00:35.570 --> 00:00:38.790 align:middle line:90% 00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:40.780 align:middle line:84% You'll notice that there are several versions 00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:44.780 align:middle line:84% available for download, including versions in Russian, 00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:47.370 align:middle line:90% Chinese, and Japanese. 00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:52.220 align:middle line:84% In this case, I will download the English version of TINA-TI 00:00:52.220 --> 00:00:56.090 align:middle line:84% by simply clicking on the Download button. 00:00:56.090 --> 00:00:59.100 align:middle line:84% At this point, you'll be asked to log into your ti.com 00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:00.690 align:middle line:90% account. 00:01:00.690 --> 00:01:03.080 align:middle line:84% If you don't have ti.com account, 00:01:03.080 --> 00:01:05.560 align:middle line:84% you can register for one free here 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.340 align:middle line:90% in this section of the window. 00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:11.320 align:middle line:84% In this case, I've already downloaded the .zip file, 00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:13.900 align:middle line:90% which contains the executable. 00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:16.460 align:middle line:84% You'll see that here in the directory. 00:01:16.460 --> 00:01:20.600 align:middle line:84% Some browsers do strip the .zip extension off of the file, 00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:23.080 align:middle line:84% and this can confuse certain computers. 00:01:23.080 --> 00:01:26.750 align:middle line:84% If this does happen to you, please add the .zip file 00:01:26.750 --> 00:01:28.975 align:middle line:84% so that you can extract the .zip file correctly. 00:01:28.975 --> 00:01:31.920 align:middle line:90% 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:36.540 align:middle line:84% Once extracted, you'll notice that there is a Tina90-TIen, 00:01:36.540 --> 00:01:41.000 align:middle line:84% signifying the English version of this particular program. 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.960 align:middle line:84% I'm going to go ahead and install it, 00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:46.990 align:middle line:84% but I'm going to install it using Run as Administrator. 00:01:46.990 --> 00:01:51.340 align:middle line:84% This will avoid any issues of priorities or preferences 00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:53.210 align:middle line:90% that you have on your computer. 00:01:53.210 --> 00:01:55.910 align:middle line:84% So these privileges will now be associated 00:01:55.910 --> 00:01:57.396 align:middle line:84% to your administrative privileges. 00:01:57.396 --> 00:02:03.710 align:middle line:90% 00:02:03.710 --> 00:02:05.550 align:middle line:90% The program is setting up. 00:02:05.550 --> 00:02:07.970 align:middle line:84% And once the installer appears, you 00:02:07.970 --> 00:02:10.030 align:middle line:84% can simply click through the simple steps 00:02:10.030 --> 00:02:13.110 align:middle line:90% to install TINA-TI. 00:02:13.110 --> 00:02:14.890 align:middle line:90% I'm going to use the defaults. 00:02:14.890 --> 00:02:18.240 align:middle line:84% However, you can browse and change the locations. 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.540 align:middle line:84% Please be sure to read through the end user's software license 00:02:21.540 --> 00:02:23.660 align:middle line:84% agreement, and notice that you're going 00:02:23.660 --> 00:02:27.100 align:middle line:90% to be agreeing to that here. 00:02:27.100 --> 00:02:29.170 align:middle line:84% I'm going to use the default values for name 00:02:29.170 --> 00:02:31.620 align:middle line:90% and for the company name. 00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:34.650 align:middle line:84% And as I said before, you can browse to a different location 00:02:34.650 --> 00:02:37.260 align:middle line:84% if you want to install it in a separate location. 00:02:37.260 --> 00:02:39.820 align:middle line:84% This is just the defaults for now. 00:02:39.820 --> 00:02:42.630 align:middle line:84% These folders are all set up for handling the different files 00:02:42.630 --> 00:02:45.521 align:middle line:84% that are used by TINA, and you can change those locations 00:02:45.521 --> 00:02:46.020 align:middle line:90% as well. 00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:50.260 align:middle line:90% 00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:53.430 align:middle line:84% Now the program is beginning to install the software 00:02:53.430 --> 00:02:56.280 align:middle line:90% on your computer. 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.620 align:middle line:84% Many of these programs are being extracted as support 00:02:59.620 --> 00:03:03.020 align:middle line:84% for the TINA-TI Tool, including reference designs 00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:05.490 align:middle line:84% for the many TI products that are available, 00:03:05.490 --> 00:03:07.990 align:middle line:84% as well as the SPICE models for the TI products 00:03:07.990 --> 00:03:09.970 align:middle line:84% that are available, and will be able to be 00:03:09.970 --> 00:03:13.740 align:middle line:84% placed from the graphical user's interface. 00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:15.730 align:middle line:84% This installation is relatively quick. 00:03:15.730 --> 00:03:20.340 align:middle line:90% 00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:22.696 align:middle line:84% And once the installation is complete, 00:03:22.696 --> 00:03:24.070 align:middle line:84% you'll be asked if you would like 00:03:24.070 --> 00:03:27.400 align:middle line:84% to put an icon in your desktop to access TINA. 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.590 align:middle line:84% In this case, I'm going to accept. 00:03:30.590 --> 00:03:33.460 align:middle line:84% Once you've accepted, you can now look at the readme file 00:03:33.460 --> 00:03:38.990 align:middle line:84% if you want to here, or you can simply click Finish. 00:03:38.990 --> 00:03:42.425 align:middle line:84% You'll now notice that there's an icon for TINA-TI, 00:03:42.425 --> 00:03:44.925 align:middle line:84% where you can access the program directly from your desktop. 00:03:44.925 --> 00:03:48.650 align:middle line:90% 00:03:48.650 --> 00:03:51.419 align:middle line:84% Since this is the first time you've run TINA-TI, 00:03:51.419 --> 00:03:52.960 align:middle line:84% you'll want to check and see if there 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.490 align:middle line:84% are any additional updates on the web for the program. 00:03:57.490 --> 00:04:00.740 align:middle line:84% That's simply going to go to the Help button, 00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:03.501 align:middle line:90% and click on Check for Updates. 00:04:03.501 --> 00:04:05.250 align:middle line:84% You will notice that there are permissions 00:04:05.250 --> 00:04:08.870 align:middle line:84% that are required here again, and you 00:04:08.870 --> 00:04:12.340 align:middle line:84% must have administrative rights to use that function. 00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:14.290 align:middle line:84% In this case, I have the administrative rights 00:04:14.290 --> 00:04:15.041 align:middle line:90% to do the update. 00:04:15.041 --> 00:04:16.540 align:middle line:84% Now, you'll notice that red it says, 00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:18.990 align:middle line:84% "Please close TINA-TI and press Update 00:04:18.990 --> 00:04:21.680 align:middle line:84% to start the updating process, or Cancel to do 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.540 align:middle line:90% the updating at a later time." 00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:25.810 align:middle line:84% I am going to exit out of TINA-TI 00:04:25.810 --> 00:04:27.610 align:middle line:90% and click on the Update. 00:04:27.610 --> 00:04:29.530 align:middle line:84% Now you can simply follow through 00:04:29.530 --> 00:04:33.020 align:middle line:84% and install all of the new different files, 00:04:33.020 --> 00:04:36.800 align:middle line:84% updating existing files as well as adding new products. 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.770 align:middle line:84% Since a new library has been added 00:04:38.770 --> 00:04:42.250 align:middle line:84% we must recomplile the library here as well. 00:04:42.250 --> 00:04:44.270 align:middle line:84% This just takes a few short minutes, 00:04:44.270 --> 00:04:47.020 align:middle line:84% but now you'll have all of the content 00:04:47.020 --> 00:04:50.630 align:middle line:84% that TI has provided into the tool. 00:04:50.630 --> 00:04:54.570 align:middle line:84% Let's take a quick look at the graphical user interface. 00:04:54.570 --> 00:04:58.270 align:middle line:84% As you'll notice, it looks very similar to many graphical user 00:04:58.270 --> 00:04:59.370 align:middle line:90% interfaces. 00:04:59.370 --> 00:05:05.420 align:middle line:84% We have file access here, we have edit features here, 00:05:05.420 --> 00:05:08.910 align:middle line:84% we have icons here for the different placements, 00:05:08.910 --> 00:05:11.230 align:middle line:84% and then we have this-- what looks kind of unique 00:05:11.230 --> 00:05:13.790 align:middle line:84% is tabs for the different types of icons 00:05:13.790 --> 00:05:15.470 align:middle line:90% that we're going to use. 00:05:15.470 --> 00:05:18.620 align:middle line:84% These component types change in the Component Bar 00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:20.780 align:middle line:84% based upon what tab you've selected. 00:05:20.780 --> 00:05:22.710 align:middle line:84% By default, the Basic tab comes up 00:05:22.710 --> 00:05:26.210 align:middle line:84% first with many of the different common functions you'll need 00:05:26.210 --> 00:05:28.730 align:middle line:84% and components that you'd need to place. 00:05:28.730 --> 00:05:30.830 align:middle line:84% Switches are available as well, and you can 00:05:30.830 --> 00:05:32.570 align:middle line:90% see the multiple switches part. 00:05:32.570 --> 00:05:34.360 align:middle line:84% One of the things I'd like to point out, 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.780 align:middle line:84% though, is that if you hover over a particular icon, 00:05:37.780 --> 00:05:40.550 align:middle line:84% it gives you information on what that icon is, 00:05:40.550 --> 00:05:42.600 align:middle line:84% whether it's a voltage-controlled switch 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.660 align:middle line:90% or a single pole open relay. 00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:47.330 align:middle line:84% You can do the same in any of these different tabs. 00:05:47.330 --> 00:05:49.770 align:middle line:84% Here we have all the meters that are available, 00:05:49.770 --> 00:05:52.750 align:middle line:84% the sources, the semiconductor content, 00:05:52.750 --> 00:05:56.500 align:middle line:84% including diodes, FETs and bipolars, as well 00:05:56.500 --> 00:05:58.300 align:middle line:90% as the SPICE macros. 00:05:58.300 --> 00:06:00.370 align:middle line:84% This is where you'll find the majority of the TI 00:06:00.370 --> 00:06:01.790 align:middle line:90% content built in. 00:06:01.790 --> 00:06:04.160 align:middle line:84% As you can see, we have operational amplifiers, 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.030 align:middle line:84% difference amps, fully difference amps, 00:06:07.030 --> 00:06:09.590 align:middle line:84% as well as switch mode power supplies 00:06:09.590 --> 00:06:11.570 align:middle line:84% and a few other components as well. 00:06:11.570 --> 00:06:14.090 align:middle line:90% 00:06:14.090 --> 00:06:16.324 align:middle line:84% Here we have all of the different Edit features, 00:06:16.324 --> 00:06:17.990 align:middle line:84% and these are the same features that you 00:06:17.990 --> 00:06:22.150 align:middle line:84% would see in any graphical user's interface 00:06:22.150 --> 00:06:23.980 align:middle line:90% for a schematic capture tool. 00:06:23.980 --> 00:06:26.270 align:middle line:90% We have the File functions here. 00:06:26.270 --> 00:06:28.670 align:middle line:84% You would have to Copy and Paste functions. 00:06:28.670 --> 00:06:30.790 align:middle line:90% Then you have your Text tool. 00:06:30.790 --> 00:06:33.620 align:middle line:84% Then you have zoom features, as well as 00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:36.800 align:middle line:84% some other manipulations-- the mirror, the rotate light, 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.190 align:middle line:90% as well as Delete. 00:06:38.190 --> 00:06:40.410 align:middle line:90% And you also have wiring tools. 00:06:40.410 --> 00:06:42.310 align:middle line:84% And these are the same standard tools 00:06:42.310 --> 00:06:45.850 align:middle line:84% that you would see in any graphical user interface. 00:06:45.850 --> 00:06:51.180 align:middle line:84% So you can click and place a Texas Instrument component. 00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:55.710 align:middle line:84% Then you can click the wiring tool to draw the wire. 00:06:55.710 --> 00:06:57.660 align:middle line:84% One of the nice features of TINA-TI 00:06:57.660 --> 00:06:59.640 align:middle line:84% is that the wiring tool does automatically 00:06:59.640 --> 00:07:03.270 align:middle line:84% appear if you click on a node of one of the devices. 00:07:03.270 --> 00:07:05.800 align:middle line:84% You can also place any of the passive components that 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.590 align:middle line:84% are available and begin wiring your circuit. 00:07:10.590 --> 00:07:13.524 align:middle line:84% That's the basic tour through the UI. 00:07:13.524 --> 00:07:15.190 align:middle line:84% What we've done in this particular video 00:07:15.190 --> 00:07:19.030 align:middle line:84% is we've showed you where to locate the executable, how 00:07:19.030 --> 00:07:21.290 align:middle line:84% to install it onto your computer, 00:07:21.290 --> 00:07:24.770 align:middle line:84% and a quick trip through the UI, giving you an idea of what 00:07:24.770 --> 00:07:27.490 align:middle line:90% TINA-TI can offer for you. 00:07:27.490 --> 00:07:29.504 align:middle line:90% Thanks for your attention. 00:07:29.504 --> 00:07:30.003 align:middle line:90%
