Creating Subcircuits from Spice Models with TINACloud: .MODEL format (Updated version, with integrated Circuit Editor)

Creating Subcircuits from Spice Models with TINACloud: .MODEL format (Updated version, with integrated Circuit Editor)

In TINACloud you can create your own components from any Spice subcircuit that you have made or downloaded from the Internet. Some device models are stored in Spice .MODEL format. We use the model of the BC846 NPN Bipolar transistor.

This video is an updated version with Integrated circuit editor.

First we will download the BC846.cir file from the internet, than we will upload the model to TINACloud Macro Library.

Next, we will present how to insert the new model to TINACloud.

Finally, we will create the following test circuit to test the new model.

In TINACloud you can create your own components from any Spice subcircuit that you have made or downloaded from the Internet. This video is an updated version with Integrated circuit editor.

In this tutorial we will present how you can create a TINA macro component using a THS4121 Spice Subcircuit downloaded previously from the web.

We will present in details how you can specify the names shown as labels of the macro pins. Also, if you wish, you can place them anywhere around the box.

You can also check the content of the newly created macro by double-clicking on it.

Next, we will demonstrate how you can create an application circuit by adding other components.

Finally we will test the circuit in DC interactive mode. As we will see the model works as expected.
