Temperature/DC Bias MLCC Models for SPICE Simulations

Taiyo Yuden provides various component libraries for microwave circuits, PI, and SI simulators. The recent release added long-time wished temperature/DC Bias Models on MLCC capacitors for HSPICE and Spectre simulations.

Temperature/DC Bias Model Reflect the ambient temperature characteristics and the applied DC bias while the standard model shows simulation values at 25℃ and DC 0V/A.

MLCC class II high electric field dielectrics may change their parameters with temperature and DC BIAS; thus, it is essential to use high fidelity MLCC models during the simulation process to achieve simulations closer to the actual operating conditions.
