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.
"These devices are key building blocks in the development of microwave frequency circuits and subsystems found in today's high-frequency communication devices", said Eiji Nakamoto, Vice President, Ansoft Japan.
"Supplying vendor-authorised device models directly as ready-to-use components benefits Nexxim and Ansoft Designer customers by providing easy access to highly accurate models for NEC's powerful device technology".
The NEC Device Library includes the following nonlinear device models for Nexxim: low-noise bipolar transistors - Gummel-Poon; heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) - Gummel-Poon; and HJ-FET - EEHEMT1.
The Library also includes the following S-parameter models and device footprints for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer: wideband amplifiers; dual-gate MES/MOS FETs; low-noise bipolar transistors; SiGe HBT twin transistors; low-noise GaAs FETs; HBTs; HJ-FETs; and power transistors.
The libraries are available and easily downloaded from NEC's website and configured for use within Nexxim and Ansoft Designer.
This site provides Nexxim and Ansoft Designer users with the ability to search for components by name, performance data or other specifications.
NEC will maintain model support and upgrades, and Ansoft will address all customer support for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer.
