Murata and Ansoft Announce SMD Component Library

March 25, 2004 by Jeff Shepard

Ansoft Corp. (Pittsburgh, PA) and Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd. announced the release of a new component library consisting of Murata's capacitor/inductor components for use within Ansoft Designer™. The device library contains proprietary equivalent simulation models of Murata's discrete capacitor/coil inductor products for use in general-purpose high-frequency designs. The devices are key building blocks in the development of radio frequency circuits and sub-systems found in commercial and military applications.

This library improves design accuracy by supplying vendor-authorized device models directly as ready-to-use components. The site provides Ansoft Designer users with the ability to search for components by size, name, performance data or other specifications. Murata will maintain model support and upgrades, while Ansoft will address all customer support for Ansoft Designer.

The Murata library is available free from Murata's website at http://www.murata.com/designlib/ansoft and is easily downloaded and configured for use in Ansoft Designer.
