Simulator gains TDK component library
TDK and Ansoft Corp have released a new library for TDK's capacitor, inductor, common mode filter, and ferrite bead components for use in Nexxim and Ansoft Designer
The component library, free to Ansoft customers, will help engineers design electronic equipment, such as wireless local area networks (WLANs), car navigation systems, basestations and cellular handsets. The integration of Nexxim and Ansoft Designer combines high-frequency circuit, system and 3D planar electromagnetic simulation to take full advantage of the accuracy offered by the TDK library.

Device library covers high-performance transistors
Users of Ansoft's software can now make use of a new device library based on NEC Compound Semiconductor Devices' high-performance transistor technologies
The device library contains S-parameters with proprietary equivalent simulation models of TDK's discrete capacitor/inductor/ferrite beads/common-mode filter products for use in general-purpose, high-frequency designs.
These devices are key building blocks in the development of radio frequency (RF) circuits and subsystems found in many of today's commercial and military applications.
The library improves design accuracy by supplying vendor-authorised device models directly as ready-to-use components.

'Our products play a key role in high-performance electronic products and systems', said Mr Fukunaga, Simulation Special Engineer at TDK.
'We realise that Ansoft is the emerging leader in high-frequency circuit simulation'.
'Providing a design kit for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer will ensure that our current and future customers will have the necessary elements to develop their communication application products using TDK's component library'.
The TDK library is available free from TDK's website and is easily downloaded and configured for use in Nexxim and Ansoft Designer.
This site provides users with the ability to search for size, components by name, performance data or other specification.
TDK will maintain model support and upgrades, and Ansoft will address all customer support for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer.
