AVX enhances capacitor modelling tool

17 March 2010 Design Automation

AVX has made enhancements to its SpiTan software for simulation and modelling of tantalum capacitors. Designated SpiTan III, the new software tool includes features such as the effects of temperature and voltage on DCL leakage current, equivalent circuits of capacitors with parameter values, and more than 80 new released codes have been added. SpiTan III can be freely downloaded at http://www.avx.com.

The company has also developed 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. Models can also be downloaded from AVX’ website. In addition, AVX has updated its SelectCap capacitor selection program to include all parts released in 2009.
