Forum Post: TPS40322 Spice Model, Open Loop Operation

Customer questions regarding the TPS40322:

1. Can the encrypted TI-TINA model run under the full version of DesignSoft’s simulator?  I’d like more functionality than what is currently available in TI-TINA.
2. Can the TPS40322 be used in an open-loop fashion (constant duty cycle switching)?  In our application, all the regulation will be done with a linear LDO regulator, and we want to use the TPS40322 as a fixed-ratio converter, in a 2-phase arrangement.

Thanks, Jason
