KEMET Spice Now Available in Web-Based Form
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- KEMET Corporation (NYSE: KEM), a leading manufacturer of tantalum, ceramic, aluminum, film, paper and electrolytic capacitors, today released the browser-based version of its KEMET Spice application. Spice is designed to show the behavior of a component with respect to frequency, ambient temperature and DC bias levels.
"KEMET has combined many key features of the Spice desktop software with the speed and portability of a browser-based application," stated John Prymak, KEMET Director, Advanced Applications and author of KEMET Spice. "This web-based version is compatible with Windows, Mac and iPad platforms, and because it runs on a server, file downloads to the operating computer are not necessary," continued Prymak.
Features and Benefits of Spice for the Web:
--Â Runs on the server with no downloads to the operating computer. The screens show selected plots and the applications allows for printing or saving the data.
--Â Evaluates typical KEMET capacitor performance versus frequency (Impedance and ESR, Capacitance and ESL, Ripple Currents and Ripple Voltage, S-Parameters s11 or s21) and time (dv/dt and Cap/dt)
--Â Change the ambient temperature, bias voltage and frequency range of the plots
--Â Plot 10 different part types, 10 different temperatures and 10 different bias voltages
--Â Plot temperature rise versus ripple current for 10 discreet frequencies for one part type
--Â Generate NetList types of EDA model files for each plot
--Â Pick-and-select part numbers from a list or enter the KEMET part number directly
