SpiTAN IV web-based simulation tool for tantalum, polymer, and niobium oxide capacitors features data mined from AVX’s previous PSpice models and S-parameters S2P software. Offers a user-friendly program for reviewing critical electrical and performance characteristics for individual part numbers by temperature and frequency, for identifying and selecting the optimum capacitors for an application. Searchable by part number or product type — the list of which currently includes: low profile, high CV, low ESR, polymer, niobium oxide, and high reliability capacitors — results can be refined by capacitance, rated voltage, case size, and ESR. Frequency and temperature can be manipulated on interactive graphs to access part-specific electrical and performance data over frequency, including: capacitance, ESR, DF, impedance, ripple voltage, and ripple current. Allows inputting of application voltage and temperature information to chart DCL over time, and provides an equivalent circuit diagram with characteristics for each parameter.
