Linear has also come out with LTSpice specifically for OSX, but I haven't tried it yet. And LTSpice is good as a general purpose Spice simulator, not just for Linear's power ICs.<br>

You know for more than a year now I've been using TIs online power search tools and simulators<br />
<br />
<br />
Ultimately this has still kept my from learning spice<br />
<br />
(As I mainly use Java based simulators when I need to try out an idea quickly )<br />
<br />
But after having really great conversation with a linear representative last week, i'm think I might be better off using linear's parts<br />
<br />
<br />
The main stumbling block so far has just been the decidedly non OSX rich environment of the Linear (and probrably all ) spice software ...so keyboard command oriented<br />
<br />
Which is fine I guess but ultimately it's all about time<br />
<br />
So oh experts tell me<br />
<br />
Will I be better off with TI or linear for figuring out power stuff ??<br />
<br />
<br />
It's obvious that for power you need better analysis tools<br />
<br />
So spice seems at least more open<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for the opinions<br />
