Capacitor SPICE model Required for Circuit Simulation

*“SPICE model that reflects the actual parts” is necessary to simulate with electric circuit simulator.

*SPICE model describes “behavior of electronic parts necessary for circuit simulation”,

and is “a part for circuit simulation”, so to speak.

*Usually, SPICE simulator is equipped with ideal electronic part models with ideal electrical behavior, not actual behavior.

Therefore, simulation result obtained is ideal result, and differs greatly from actual measurement result.

Moreover, when SPICE model to be used is not reflecting the actual behavior, accurate simulation result cannot be obtained

even if carrying out precise simulation.

*Nippon Chemi-Con provides SPICE models which are composed of 7-elements parameter

reflecting the behaviors of actual capacitors.

*By using these SPICE models, simulation result can be brought close to actual measurement result,

and exact analysis can be attained.

It becomes easier to find problems of the circuit as simulation results are close to measurement result,

and yield at the mass production stage, quality and circuit design efficiency can be improved too.
