AVX Corporation has announced a range of upgrades to its tantalum capacitor simulation and modeling support tools.
Version III of AVX’s SpiTan software for simulation and modelling of tantalum capacitors includes new features such as the effects of temperature and voltage on DCL leakage current. Equivalent circuits of capacitors with parameter values are given and more than 80 new released codes have been added.
AVX has also announced the development of a library of models of its tantalum capacitors. Five of the most common case sizes (A, B, C, D, E) are now available in STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data) format, which is widely used and popular for data exchange and archiving.
AVX has updated its SelectCap capacitor selection programme to include all parts released in 2009.
- •New compact broadband amplifier operates across 0.5 GHz - 2.5 GHz frequency range
- •As the semiconductor market shifts into higher gear so the risk of counterfeits rises
- •Rutronik stocking compact thick film resistor with 1100 W power rating from Vishay
- •DLP Technology keeps Texas Instruments at top of MEMS market
