TDK and Ansoft Deliver New Component Library For Nexxim And Ansoft Designer

Pittsburgh - TDK Ltd. and Ansoft Corporation released a new library for TDK's capacitor, inductor, common mode filter, and ferrite bead components for use in Nexxim and Ansoft Designer. The component library, free to Ansoft customers, will help engineers design electronic equipment, such as Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), car navigation systems, base stations and cellular handsets. The integration of Nexxim and Ansoft Designer combines high-frequency circuit, system and 3D planar electromagnetic simulation to take full advantage of the accuracy offered by the TDK library.

The device library contains S-parameters with proprietary equivalent simulation models of TDK's discrete capacitor/inductor/ferrite beads/common-mode filter products for use in general-purpose, high-frequency designs. These devices are key building blocks in the development of radio frequency (RF) circuits and sub-systems found in many of today's commercial and military applications. The library improves design accuracy by supplying vendor-authorized device models directly as ready-to-use components.

"Our products play a key role in high-performance electronic products and systems," said Mr. Fukunaga, Simulation Special Engineer at TDK. "We realize that Ansoft is the emerging leader in high-frequency circuit simulation. Providing a design kit for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer will ensure that our current and future customers will have the necessary elements to develop their communication application products using TDK's component library."
