TINA now includes all major analog, digital and mixed Hardware Description Languages: VHDL, Verilog, Verilog-A, Verilog AMS and SysteC 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 or you can use precompiled SystemC components 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 subcircuits.
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.
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. Using the Macro Wizard of the Schematic Editor you can simplify schematics and hide clutter by turning portions of the schematic into subcircuits.
This powerful designer tool, integrated into TINA, 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. TINA also includes a powerful Filter circuit design tool available under of Tools menu. You can design Low pass, High pass, Band pass and Band stop filters, using Chebyshev, Inverse Chebyshev, Butterworth or Elliptic approximation, by specifying the frequency range and gain, using passive components or operational amplifiers. Using the built in Logic Circuit Designer you can also enter and simplify logical functions or Truth tables, automatically draw the corresponding schematics and create TINA circuits so you can check your circuit design with digital circuit simulation.
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 for creating new designs, but also in teaching, to construct examples and problems. It is also a very powerful tool for designers to refine the results provided by a design procedure or tune already working circuits.
