Tantalum and niobium oxide capacitor simulation software
It allows engineers to access all of the basic characteristics and parameters for AVX’s standard, polymer, wet, and conformally coated tantalum capacitors. This includes the new TCM Series tantalum polymer multianode chip capacitors and the F-Series capacitors procured as a result of AVX’s recent acquisition of Nichicon’s tantalum division – in addition to niobium oxide capacitors.
Accessible characteristics in the latest version of the SpiTanIII software include: capacitance, impedance, equivalent series resistance (ESR), dissipation factor (DF), ripple current, ripple voltage, and leakage current (DCL). With user input values for ambient temperature and, when evaluating DCL, derating levels, the program can accurately calculate, model, and compare capacitor performance simulations that reflect each designers’ unique application parameters, allowing design engineers to evaluate how changes in temperature affect frequency characteristics. New features accessible by a single, dedicated button also enable users to generate S-parameters, which are useful for designing circuits that require high frequency accuracy. Additionally, all graphs created in SpiTanIII V2.0 may be exported as image files or a list of data values viewable using spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel, for further evaluation.
SpiTanIII V2.0 is available at www.avx.com. To download the executable file, hover over the “Spice Models/Software” button in the vertical, left-aligned menu on the AVX homepage and then click on “SpiTan III 2 (Tantalum and Niobium Oxide Capacitors)” in the resulting drop-down menu.
