8 Device and Documentation Support

TI offers an extensive line of development tools. Tools and software to evaluate the performance of the device,

generate code, and develop solutions are listed below.

8.1 Device Support

8.1.1 Development Support

8.1.1.1 PSpice® for TI

PSpice® for TI is a design and simulation environment that helps evaluate performance of analog circuits. Create

subsystem designs and prototype solutions before committing to layout and fabrication, reducing development

cost and time to market.

8.1.1.2 TINA-TI™ Simulation Software (Free Download)

TINA-TI™ simulation software is a simple, powerful, and easy-to-use circuit simulation program based on a

SPICE engine. TINA-TI simulation software is a free, fully-functional version of the TINA™ software, preloaded

with a library of macromodels, in addition to a range of both passive and active models. TINA-TI simulation

software provides all the conventional dc, transient, and frequency domain analysis of SPICE, as well as

additional design capabilities.

Available as a free download from the Design tools and simulation web page, TINA-TI simulation software offers

extensive post-processing capability that allows users to format results in a variety of ways. Virtual instruments

offer the ability to select input waveforms and probe circuit nodes, voltages, and waveforms, creating a dynamic

quick-start tool.

Note

These files require that either the TINA software or TINA-TI software be installed. Download the free

TINA-TI simulation software from the TINA-TI™ software folder.

8.1.1.3 DIP-Adapter-EVM

Speed up your op amp prototyping and testing with the DIP-Adapter-EVM, which provides a fast, easy and

inexpensive way to interface with small, surface-mount devices. Connect any supported op amp using the

included Samtec terminal strips or wire them directly to existing circuits. The DIP-Adapter-EVM kit supports

the following industry-standard packages: D or U (SOIC-8), PW (TSSOP-8), DGK (VSSOP-8), DBV (SOT-23-6,

SOT-23-5 and SOT-23-3), DCK (SC70-6 and SC70-5), and DRL (SOT563-6).

8.1.1.4 DIYAMP-EVM

The DIYAMP-EVM is a unique evaluation module (EVM) that provides real-world amplifier circuits, enabling the

user to quickly evaluate design concepts and verify simulations. This EVM is available in three industry-standard

packages (SC70, SOT23, and SOIC) and 12 popular amplifier configurations, including amplifiers, filters, stability

compensation, and comparator configurations for both single and dual supplies.

8.1.1.5 TI Reference Designs

TI reference designs are analog solutions created by TI’s precision analog applications experts. TI reference

designs offer the theory of operation, component selection, simulation, complete PCB schematic and layout, bill

of materials, and measured performance of many useful circuits. TI reference designs are available online at

https://www.ti.com/reference-designs.

8.1.1.6 Filter Design Tool

The filter design tool is a simple, powerful, and easy-to-use active filter design program. The filter design tool

allows the user to create optimized filter designs using a selection of TI operational amplifiers and passive

components from TI's vendor partners.

Available as a web-based tool from the Design tools and simulation web page, the filter design tool allows the

user to design, optimize, and simulate complete multistage active filter solutions within minutes.
