Modelithics Models Simulate Tight Tolerance MLO Inductors

AVX is offering new simulation-ready Modelithics Models for its 0402 tight tolerance, high current, and high Q MLO inductor series. Part-value sensitive, substrate scalable, and fully integrated with a range of software applications (including Agilent ADS, Genesys, and AWR Microwave Office), the latest additions to AVX’s Modelithics Component Model Library allow design engineers to accurately simulate the performance of its HL, HLC and HLQ Series inductors for RF and microwave applications. Based on AVX's patented MLOT technology, the low profile inductors exhibit low parasitics, excellent heat dissipation and solderability, and are surface mountable and expansion matched to FR4 PCBs. Utilizing fine line high density interconnect technology and incorporating very low loss organic materials, the series also exhibit tight tolerance control, high repeatability, high Q and high stability over frequency, suiting them for use in mobile communications, satellite, GPS, collision avoidance, matching network and wireless LAN applications. Rated for use in temperatures spanning -55°C to +125°C, the high frequency 0402 HL, HLC and HLQ Series MLO inductors also feature high frequency performance, low dc resistance, RoHS-compliant Sn finishes, and tape and reel packaging.
