AVX Develops Component Simulation Software to Improve Design-In Process

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (March 2, 2009) -- AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and leaded solutions, has developed a new component modeling and simulation software that can save cost, time to market and reduce potential quality issues.

Designated AVX Component Simulator, the software enables designers to view all basic characteristics and parameters for Accu-P, Accu-L, Thin Film Low Pass Filters, Couplers, 3dB Splitters, Hi-CV SMT, LICC, LGA and IDC products. The simulation software features multiple parameter graphing options including Smith Charts, S-parameter, ESR, impedance, current, inductance and capacitance values.

"Our new Component Simulator tool improves the PC-based design-in process for broad spectrum of our advanced components. However, for this approach to be effective, high quality models are required to show realistic behavior and not merely ideal performance," said Jiri Pernicky, AVX marketing communications manager. "This is a great tool for design engineers to help in the selection of the correct rating for their application."

The AVX Component Simulator generates appropriate product part numbers based on customer's technical specifications. The software also provides Internet links for data sheets, samples and distributor stock checks.
