TINA-TI

This complimentary, limited, version of TINA is distributed by Texas Instruments (TI) in cooperation with DesignSoft, supplier of TINA. It includes TI integrated circuit macromodels and application examples and is intended to demonstrate commercial circuit applications for TI’s products. This evaluation version, TINA-TI, is not authorized for educational use, and should not be used by educators for the purpose of educating pupils, or by students or others for educational purposes. For educational use special versions of TINA are available developed especially for teachers and students. For more information see www.tina.com under Education.

The program is derived from TINA 8 the Complete Electronics Lab program for analyzing, designing and real time testing analog, digital, VHDL, MCU and mixed mode circuits and their PCB layouts.
