Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ:ANST) and SAMSUNG (Samsung Electro-Mechanics
Co. Ltd.) today announced the release of a new model library of SAMSUNG’s
high-density, miniaturized surface-mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip
Capacitors (MLCC). MLCCs are used for decoupling and temperature
compensation in applications where PC board space is limited. They are
ideal for new wireless and portable product designs, including notebook
computers, mobile phones, PDAs, camcorders, VCRs, telecommunications and
test equipment. The new MLCC library allows engineers using Nexxim®
and Ansoft Designer®
to simulate advanced PCB and hybrid IC designs.
“The rapid advancement of mobile
communications and small electronics products is driving demand for
parts with ever-higher precision. For example, the slimmer mobile phones
currently leading the market are forcing component manufacturers to
develop ultra-small parts with very high capacity,”
said Kangheon Hur, vice president of SAMSUNG. “We
are pleased to team with Ansoft to address customer needs for accurate
simulation and manufacturing data so that these high-performance
components can be readily incorporated into the next generation of
products.”
The MLCC components provide outstanding high-frequency properties, high
reliability, low cost and ultra-small size. The new library contains
over 400 capacitor models ranging in capacitance values from .5 pf to 47
uf for use with operating voltages up to 50 V depending on chip size
(available chip sizes range from 0201 to 1206). Each component model
utilizes S-parameter data from actual device characterization to provide
excellent accuracy of the capacitor’s
electrical response within a Nexxim simulation. Nexxim is able to use
the frequency-domain models provided by the S-parameters in both
frequency- and time-domain analyses.
The library is available from SAMSUNG’s Web
site (http://www.sem.samsung.com)
and is easy to download (under Products/Capacitors-MLCC/Technical Tool)
and configure for use within Nexxim and Ansoft Designer. This site
provides Ansoft customers with the ability to search for components by
name, performance data or other specification. SAMSUNG will maintain
model support and upgrades, while Ansoft will address all customer
support for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer.
