[moved] Simulate Dc-DC converter using LM2623 & SMD components

[sronnie]

Hello evryone my name is Ronnie from Uganda, I'm designing a dc-dc boost converter using an LM2623 and an inductor 4.7 micro henries,both components are SMD, so I cannot be able to simulate them on a breadboard, I have been looking for a software which has these exact components so that I simulate them before physically implementing the circuit. Could someone advice on tis please, I also need advice on the best way to mount this circuit on a veroboard without damaging the components, thank you. I want to boost 1.5v to 12v.

Look at the LM2623 evaluation board layout to get an idea of reasonable wiring.

I don't see a proper way to solder the device, hope you have at least the 0.65 mm VSOP not the WSON package? I have been sometimes mounting 0.65 mm components on a test board with plated holes,1.27 x 1.27 mm pitch, cutting each square pad into two halves. But that's no real fun. There are also special SMT IC adapter boards for 0.65 mm pitch ICs. I guess neither of these products is available at your site?

May be the converter is supported by TINA simulator?
