AVX expands partnership with Modelithics

AVX's family of thin film RF/microwave directional couplers and it's MLO diplexers for WLAN/BT, CDMA, WCDMA, WLAN, and WLAN/BT wireless standards are now available in the Modelithics System Level Component Library (SLC). RLC component families, including Accu-P thin film chip capacitors for RF signal and power applications, Accu-L SMD high Q RF inductors and the UQ series of high Q/ultra-low ESR microwave MLCCs, are now available as Microwave Global Models in the Modelithics CLR Library. The Modelithics CLR Library also includes the SQ series of ultra-low ESR microwave MLCCs, the GX series of ultra-broadband capacitors, MLO capacitors and tight tolerance, high current and high Q MLO inductors.

Currently in development are additional Modelithics models for AVX components, including those for it's GPS/WLAN diplexers and 30W, 3dB, 90 MLO hybrid couplers. Upon completion, these will be added to the SLC Library. 90-days free access to all AVX models, courtesy of AVX and the Modelithics Vendor Partner programme, is available to approved customers. With the next release, all existing subscribers to the Modelithics COMPLETE Library who are on active support will receive the new models automatically.

"AVX is committed to providing our customers with advanced design tools, so we are very pleased to announce our newly expanded partnership with Modelithics. Modelithics' highly accurate and scalable models provide our customers in the RF/microwave systems market with the ability to easily and accurately develop comprehensive circuit simulations of their proposed designs using proven models of an ever-expanding range of AVX microwave products, which effectively saves them both time and money and helps accelerate their time to market," said Edgardo Menendez, Field Applications Engineer, AVX.
