 		 #171077 - TINA
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I do a lot with TINA from Texas Instruments. Or there's LTspice. Both are for free.

The problem with these simulations is that you never exactly know, how "real" the component is. An example: If you take a simple transistor, then the base emitter junction can zener at about 5...8V when reverse biasing. Many simulation software do not simulate this properly. There's no zenering at all...

This must always kept in mind. Like when doing numerical calulations, you never exactly know, how much rounding errors contribute to the result.

I'd like to learn Spice, how best to do that?            01/01/70 00:00      
   according to "Mr. Analog"            01/01/70 00:00      
      No, I don't think he actually said that            01/01/70 00:00

                  Other times, it's just more space!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     odd ... I don't have any software that doesn't do that            01/01/70 00:00
