AVX has released a new version of its SpiCalci simulation software, an engineering tool that calculates performance characteristics and parameters for switch mode power supply (SMPS) capacitors.
Featuring enhanced part selection and including nearly all of the new SMPS devices that AVX has introduced over the past two years, SpiCalci 9.0 allows engineers to input raw data and generate output information and graphs that will help them choose which multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) will best satisfy their application criteria.
Users can input and select a wide variety of raw data, including part type, case size, voltage, dielectric, capacitance, tolerance, ambient temperature, temperature rise and operating frequency for catalogue, military and aerospace parts.
Available free of charge and downloadable from www.avx.com/SpiApps/default.asp#spicalci, SpiCalci 9.0 supports Windows 7, Windows 8 and 64-bit operating systems.
