Design Kits

By providing access to models validated by foundry and component manufacturers, Ansoft helps companies worldwide lower the cost of product development and enhance engineering productivity with these design kits.

Murata Library
The Murata device library contains proprietary equivalent simulation models of Murata's discrete Capacitor/Coil Inductor products for use in general-purpose high-frequency designs. These devices are key building blocks in the development of radio frequency (RF) circuits and subsystems found in many of today's commercial and military applications. This library improves design accuracy by supplying vendor-authorized device models directly as ready-to-use components.

Renesas Electronics RF and Microwave Device Library
The Renesas Electronics RF and Microwave Device Library contains electrical models of Renesas Electronics Corporation Compound Semiconductor Devices Ltd.'s discrete low-noise bipolar transistor products for use in general-purpose high-frequency designs. These devices are key building blocks in the development of microwave frequency circuits and subsystems found in many of today's commercial applications.

Panasonic ALIVH Design Kit
The Panasonic design kit for Any Layer Interstitial Via Hole (ALIVH) Board for Nexxim®, HFSS™, and Ansoft Designer®, can be used together with Panasonic surface mount technology (SMT) components, such as varistors and common mode noise filters. Engineers designing high-performance HDMI signal lines can utilize this design kit to ensure the signal quality of the digital signal content. The kit is equipped with scalable differential and common mode elements that can be applied in circuit- and system-level simulations to produce realistic waveforms.

SAMSUNG Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor Library
The MLCC components library contains over 400 capacitor models ranging in capacitance values from .5 pf to 47 uf for use with operating voltages up to 50 V depending on chip size (available chip sizes ranging from 0201 to 1206). Each component model utilizes S-parameter data from actual device characterization to provide excellent accuracy of the capacitor's electrical response within a Nexxim frequency- and/or time-domain simulation.

Taiyo Yuden RF Component Library
This component library, free to Ansoft Designer customers, will help engineers designing electronic equipment, such as Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), car navigation systems, base stations and cellular handsets, by providing accurate electrical responses and mechanical layout features for manufacturing.

TDK Component Library
This component library, free to Ansoft Designer customers, includes capactitor, inductor, common mode filter, and ferrite bead components. The TDK Component Library helps engineers to design electronic equipment, such as Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), car navigation systems, base stations and cellular handsets.

Xilinx and Ansoft: Gigabit Backplane Signal Integrity Design Kit
The Gigabit Backplane Signal Integrity Design Kit is based on the Xilinx MK322 Evaluation Board for the Xilinx Virtex-II™ Pro X FPGA. This virtual design kit provides Ansoft parameterized circuit, planar electromagnetic (EM), and 3D EM models, which can be used to correlate simulation with measured results. The real power of this kit, however, is the ability to perform extremely accurate what-if analysis, in both the time and frequency domain, for a variety of layout and design modifications.
