AVX Corporation has made enhancements to its SpiTan software for simulation and modeling of tantalum capacitors.

The SpiTan III 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.

AVX has also developed a library of models of its tantalum capacitors. Five of the most common case sizes (A, B, C, D, E) are now available in STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data) format.

In addition, AVX has updated its SelectCap capacitor selection program to include all parts released in 2009.
