Pad scalability corresponds to the ability to change the dimensions of the bonding or solder pad used for attachment of a surface mount component. In this paper, a new pad scalability feature added to selected Global Models contained in Modelithics CLR Library[1,2] is discussed. We demonstrate the excellent correlation...

A library of robust models featuring substrate scalability and temperature dependence is now available for surface-mount diodes. The Modelithics Nonlinear Diode (NLD™) Library contains a compilation of measurement validated nonlinear diode models developed from I-V, C-V, small- and large-signal S-parameter characterization data. Over-temperature testing, combined with Modelithics’ patent-pending substrate-scalability...

Powerfully flexible software models are now available for surface-mount (SMT) resistor, inductor and capacitor (RLC) components that are accurate over wide ranges of frequency, part value and mounting configurations. These unique, substrate-scalable Global Models™ are developed from careful measurements taken in typical application circuit mounts on multiple boards. Global...
