SpiCalci simulation software calculates performance characteristics and parameters for switch mode power supply (SMPS) capacitors. Features enhanced part selection and includes nearly all new SMPS devices introduced by AVX over the past two years. Allows inputting of raw data and generates output information and graphs to aid in SMPS capacitor selection. Accepts inputs and selects a variety of raw data, including: part type, case size, voltage, dielectric, capacitance, tolerance, ambient temperature (°C), temperature rise (°C), and operating frequency (kHz) for catalog, military, and aerospace parts. Output data is provided in two categories: Specifications for this Design and Specifications Varying with Temperature. Is free of charge.
