AVX has introduced a new range of Modelithics Models for its 0402 tight tolerance, high current, and high Q multilayer organic inductors. Fully integrated with a range of software applications (including Agilent ADS, Genesys, and AWR Microwave Office), the latest additions to AVX’s Modelithics Component Model Library are part-value sensitive and substrate scalable. This allows design engineers to accurately simulate the performance of its HL, HLC, and HLQ Series inductors.

Featuring low parasitics, excellent heat dissipation and solderability, the HL, HLC, and HLQ Series inductors are based on AVX’s patented MLO technology. Inherently low profile, these inductors are surface mountable and expansion matched to FR4 PCBs.

Incorporating very low loss organic materials, the inductors deal for use in mobile communications, satellite, GPS, collision avoidance, matching network, and wireless LAN applications. Featuring tight tolerance control, high repeatability, high Q, and high stability over frequency, they utilise fine line high density interconnect technology.

Larry Eisenberger, senior marketing application engineer at AVX, commented: “Reliable, simulation-ready models like Modelithics Models save designers considerable amounts of time and money on new designs, so we strive to continually provide new models, as well as update existing ones, to better serve our customers. The new Modelithics Models for our tight tolerance, high current, and high Q 0402 inductors will be particularly beneficial to RF and microwave designers.”

Operating over a wide temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, the MLO inductors feature RoHS-compliant Sn finishes and tape and reel packaging. Exhibitng high frequency performance and low DC resistance, the HL, HLC, and HLQ Series inductors are 100% tested for electrical parameters and visual characteristics in accordance with JEDEC and MIL standards.
