Device library adds Panasonic SMT
devices
Panasonic and Ansoft have released a new device library for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer based on Panasonic's high-density miniaturised surface-mount (SMT) components.
Panasonic and Ansoft have released a new device library for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer based on Panasonic's high-density miniaturised surface-mount (SMT) components Engineers designing electronic equipment, such as cellular handsets, car navigation systems and wireless local area networks (WLANs), can now design large-scale PCBs with accurate electrical models for these high-performance parts

Design and simulation switch to Linux
The release of Nexxim and Ansoft Designer for Linux provides customers an alternative to the previously released Microsoft Windows versions.
"Panasonic is pleased to complement Ansoft's powerful simulation technologies with a device library for our most advanced surface-mount components", said Hiroshi Takahashi, Senior Operating Officer, Product Development, at Panasonic.
"We look forward to expanding the library in the future to include LCR composites, noise suppression components, baluns, SAW devices and power supplies to benefit our mutual customers".
The library currently consists of three principal passive SMT components: 159 multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs); 186 chip resistors; and 45 chip inductors.
Panasonic SMT components are offered in both equivalent circuit and S-parameter form and can be used in Nexxim and Ansoft Designer.
Panasonic device models are reputed for their accuracy and robustness, and all extracted parasitic elements and coupling have been verified to converge under all operating conditions.
The library is available from Panasonic's website (http://industrial.panasonic.com/i/library.html) and is easy to download and configure for use within Nexxim and Ansoft Designer.
This site provides Ansoft customers with the ability to search for components by name, performance data or other specification.
Panasonic will maintain model support and upgrades, and Ansoft will address all customer support for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer.
