Panasonic Creates Library for Ansoft
Written by Tracy Heffner
Thursday, 09 June 2005
PITTSBURGH – Panasonic and Ansoft Corp. have released a new device library for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer based on Panasonic's high-density miniaturized surface-mount technology (SMT) components. According to an article, engineers designing electronic equipment, such as cellular handsets, car navigation systems, and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), can now reportedly design large-scale PCBs with accurate electrical models for these high-performance parts.
"Panasonic is pleased to complement Ansoft's powerful simulation technologies with a device library for our most advanced surface-mount components," said Mr. Hiroshi Takahashi, senior operating officer, Product Development, at Panasonic. "We look forward to expanding the library in the future to include LCR composites, noise suppression components, baluns, SAW devices and power supplies to benefit our mutual customers."
The library currently consists of three principal passive SMT components: 159 multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCC), 186 chip resistors and 45 chip inductors.
Panasonic SMT components are offered in both equivalent circuit and S-parameter form and can be used in Nexxim and Ansoft Designer.

CSP/BallNest Socket Provides Consistant Test and Burn-In
Aries Electronics introduces the CSP/BallNest Hybrid Socket for test or burn-in of chip scale package, ball grid array, microBGA, land grid array and prototyping. It can be used on any device having a pitch of 0.30 mm or larger. Features include a lid that nests each ball termination into the socket for a reliable connection and a four-point crown providing scrub on solder oxides. It has a signal path of 0.0777 inches and provides minimal signal loss for higher bandwidth capability. Estimated contact life is 500,000 cycles, and the socket is available in custom materials, sizes, configurations and platings. www.arieselec.com
