New version 9.1 of Tina; spice based analog design software from TI

Texas Instruments Incorporated has introduced SPICE-based analog design and simulation tool TINA-TI 9.1 . TI says this new version of the free software program averages 5X speed increases over version 7.0. TINA-TI 9.1 helps engineers to design, test and troubleshoot analog circuits, inc. TINA-TI 9.1 supports any industry SPICE models, making it easier than ever for engineers to simulate their designs. TINA-TI 9.1 is available in English, simplified and traditional Chinese, Japanese and Russian.

Key features and benefits of TINA-TI 9.1:
Support for multi-core processors and an optimized SPICE engine enable TINA-TI 9.1 to run simulations 5X faster on average.
Designers can import any SPICE model to easily simulate their designs in TINA-TI 9.1.
TINA-TI 9.1 will feature more than 500 part models and reference designs including more than 130 new power models. The broad model coverage and fast simulation in TINA-TI 9.1 make it easier for designers to speed their products to market.
TINA-TI 9.1 provides all the conventional DC, transient and frequency domain analysis of SPICE and extensive post-processing capability that allows the user to customize results. Virtual instruments allow users to select input waveforms and probe circuit node voltages and waveforms.

Availability: TINA-TI 9.1 is available today from TI for free downloading in the TI Analog eLab Design Center at www.ti.com/analogelab-pr.
