Free simulation, modelling and selection tantalum capacitor tools from AVX
AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has announced important upgrades to its tantalum capacitor simulation and modeling support tools.
Version III of AVX’s popular 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. SpiTan III can be freely downloaded at http://www.avx.com/
Lastly, AVX has updated its SelectCap capacitor selection program to include all parts released in 2009. It can be downloaded at http://www.avx.com/
