SpiCAT simulation software includes SpiMLCC and SpiTAN portals that provide electrical and performance characteristics by frequency and temperature for a range of multilayer ceramic or tantalum, polymer, and niobium oxide surface-mount capacitors.

Software simplifies capacitor selection, grouping different product series by common application features. Can review electrical characteristics for individual part numbers with respect to temperature and frequency to support parametric characterization and rapid identification of capacitor solutions. Once part has been selected, interactive graphs allow users to identify effect that modified frequencies and temperatures have on parameters, including capacitance, equivalent series resistance (ESR), dissipation factor (DF), impedance, ripple voltage, and ripple current. Can input application voltage and temperature information into chart direct current leakage (DCL) over time. Provides equivalent circuit diagram with characteristics for each parameter. Can download 3D models of each case size, print out graphs and parameters for selected part numbers, and check inventory in distributor stock.
