Basic microcontroller debugging using TINA

In this tutorial video

we will analyze and debug a simple program written in assembly language (part 1) and in C language (part 2) for the PIC16F73 microcontroller. Note that this process also works for mixed mode circuits with both analog and digital components.
This is the advantage of running the debugger inside TINA, compared to an external debugger for the PIC only.

TINACloud as an engine of Infineon Designer

Infineon Designer,

introduced at the 2016 Electronica Trade fair, the first online prototyping application combining analog and digital simulation functionalities in an internet application. Requiring a web browser only, it is a perfect match for supporting customers in selecting the right product for a defined application. Infineon Designer is using TINACloud as an engine and the two programs are fully compatible. Designs made in Infineon Designer can be uploaded into TINACloud and processed further by extending or inserting them into any circuits using the Schematic Editor of TINACloud. Infineon Designer’s application circuits are also available in TINACloud  (www.tinacloud.com) .

Using the Library Manager of TINA, Part 3: Adding complete Spice libraries in .MODEL format

Semiconductor device manufactures often provide models for their components in .MODEL format. These are normally placed in a text file (also called library) containing many .MODEL instructions.

In this tutorial video

we will show how to add such libraries to TINA. Of course you can also create your own models in .MODEL format and add to TINA in a similar way.

Watch our tutorial video to see how to add diodes.lib to TINA’s catalog available for part (device) selection.

New! Analysis links in TINACloud

A new exciting feature in TINACloud that now you can add links to your circuits

which allow you to carry our most TINACloud analyses simply by clicking the links without using TINAclouds’s menus. This feature is extremely useful when you create presentations for your customers.

For example if you click the “Click here to run AC nodal analysis” link the following screen will appear.

By default is shows the rms voltage on the output(s). If you click with the cursor on any nodes (yellow boxes) of the circuit it will display the detailed nodal analysis data in a small window. Click You can repeat this any times until you press the Close button to finish the Nodal Analysis.

Further if you click the “Click here to run AC transient analysis” link, the Transient analysis will automatically run and the following screen will appear. You can now run cursor on the diagram or close the diagram and make further analyses.
