AVX enhances Spicalci SMPS capacitor selector
An AVX product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Mar 9, 2010
AVX has enhanced its free Spicalci software, which guides designers to select the proper switch-mode power supply (SMPS) capacitor to match application requirements.
The upgraded Spicalci 5.0 SMPS software incorporates AVX's newest capacitor technologies, including Turbocap, the rugged MH series and the expanded MIL PRF 49470 product offering.
AVX has enhanced its free SpiCalci Software that guides designers to select the proper switch mode power supply capacitor to match application requirements.
In addition, the software allows the user to select critical parameters, build a part number, and view charts such as ESR, impedance versus frequency, temperature change versus applied current, and maximum current over frequency.
AVX said its SMPS capacitors are suited for filtering capacitors on the input and output of power supplies, or as snubber capacitors.
The Spicalci 5.0 software is said to ensure customers select the appropriate capacitor and performance characteristics for their application.
