Business Wire
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. For more information,
