Component library expands
design software scope
A new device library of Taiyo Yuden high-density miniaturised surface-mount components is available for Ansoft Designer
The component library, free to Ansoft Designer customers, will help engineers designing electronic equipment, such as wireless local area networks (WLANs), car navigation systems, basestations and cellular handsets, by providing accurate electrical responses and mechanical layout features for manufacturing.

The small 0402 case size and tight dimension tolerances are excellent for high-density mounting.
These parts are used in high-frequency portable communication applications where high Q values and small size are needed.
The new library also includes the HK Series of high-Q-value multilayer chip inductors, which is the de facto standard occupying a worldwide market share of 50%.
These inductors reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), increase battery life and improve overall efficiency in cell phones, pagers, notebook PCs and other products employing high-frequency circuits.
The components in the new library offer distinctive features for enhanced accuracy and simulation speed.
Each component uses S-parameter data based on Taiyo Yuden's advanced characterisation lab for greater accuracy and fewer prototype cycles.
Additionally, each component can be represented by a frequency-dependent equivalent circuit for a 4x speedup in simulation time simply by toggling the component's model attribute.
The library is available from Taiyo Yuden's website (www.t-yuden.com/simtools/index.cfm) and is easily downloaded and configured for use within Ansoft Designer.
This site provides Ansoft Designer users with the ability to search for components by name, performance data or other specification.
Taiyo Yuden will maintain model support and upgrades, while Ansoft will address all customer support for Ansoft Designer.
