Tantalum Capacitors from AVX Corporation

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has made significant enhancements to its popular SpiTan software for simulation and modelling of tantalum capacitors.

Designated the SpiTan III, the new software tool includes new features such as the effects of temperature and voltage on DCL leakage current, equivalent circuits of capacitors with parameter values, and more than 80 new released codes have been added. SpiTan III can be freely downloaded at avx.com.

AVX has also developed a library of models of its tantalum capacitors.
