Murata SimSurfing Tool

Murata's SimSurfing Tool transforms transmission, impedance, and reflection characteristics into a graph display. The SimSurfing Tool provides characteristics close to actual measurement values for multilayer ceramic capacitors, lead type ceramic capacitors, polymer capacitors, and RF inductors. This is allowed even in a frequency range higher than the self-resonant frequency.

The characteristics of multiple part numbers can be compared in one graph. Comparisons can also be made easier when the specification of the DC bias and operating temperature are changed. Components can be searched or sorted from the catalog specifications or part numbers. Multilayer ceramic capacitors, lead type ceramic capacitors, and polymer capacitors can be searched with effective values specified with the capacitance and impedance.

S-parameter and SPICE models can be downloaded, and files of the impedance and other characteristics data can also be output. Also, the functions specialized for each component are also provided. This involves part numbers being selected accurately and efficiently, as the basic characteristics can be confirmed for each application circuit. A download version, which has the same functions and contents as the online version, is also available for users to install and use off-line.
