Ansoft Incorporates Capacitor Library
March 1, 2007 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
SEOUL, South Korea Ansoft Corporation and Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co. Ltd. collaborated to release a model library of Samsung's high-density, miniaturized, surface mount multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs), which are used for decoupling and temperature compensation in designs with limited board space. The library allows engineers using Nexxim and Ansoft Designer to simulate advanced PCB and hybrid-IC designs.
Partnering with Ansoft will promote MLCC incorporation into next-generation wireless and portable products, said Kangheon Hur, vice president of Samsung. The company will maintain model support and upgrades; Ansoft will provide customer support for the simulation products. The library lets customers search for components by name, performance data, or other specification.
The components range from 0201 to 1206 form factors and possess capacitance values of 0.5 pF to 47 µF. Each model in the library uses S-parameter data from actual device characterization for the capacitor's electrical response within a Nexxim simulation. Nexxim uses frequency-domain models from S-parameters in frequency- and time-domain analyses.
