So far TI has not responded to the previous post regarding the problems with the THS7530 Voltage-Controlled Amplifier. Actually I am not surprised that no one wants to take responsibility for this macromodel.
IC manufacturers seem to take a cavalier attitude toward providing their customers with decent macromodels for their products. Why spend $200k to $300k to develop a new product and then handicap it by producing a poor macromodel or not providing any macromodel at all? I think the problem lies with marketing-- these folks are, for the most part, engineers but they haven't actually designed anything for years. Any working design engineer knows how important it is to have the proper tools and good simulation software such as TINA and good device macromodels. These tools are vital-- not jus handy!
By the way did TI bother to produce a model for any of their analog temperature sensors? Yes, just one-- the TMP20. That is, unless I missed finding them, which is a distinct possibility given the really poor TI website.
Bite the bullet and pay Bill Sands to produce some decent models.
