Ansoft Announces Availability of NEC Compound Semiconductor Device Library for Ansoft Designer.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 1, 2003 Ansoft Corporation (Nasdaq:ANST ANST Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training ANST After Negative Skin Test ) today announced the release of a new device library based on NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Compound Semiconductor Devices, Ltd.'s Low Noise Bipolar Transistors (electronics) bipolar transistor - A transistor made from a sandwich of n- and p-type semiconductor material: either npn or pnp. The middle section is known as the "base" and the other two as the "collector" and "emitter". for use within Ansoft Designer(TM). The new device library contains electrical models of NEC Compound Semiconductor Devices Ltd.'s discrete low-noise bipolar transistor products for use in general-purpose high-frequency designs. These devices are key building blocks in the development of microwave frequency circuits and subsystems found in many of today's commercial applications. This library improves design accuracy by supplying vendor-authorized device models directly as ready-to-use components. "Our products play a key role in the design of high-performance electronic products and systems of microwave frequency," said Mr. Kose, Engineering Manager at NEC Compound Semiconductor Devices, Ltd. "Our company places significant value on developing and providing our customers with highly accurate SPICE parameter models." This library is available from NEC Compound Semiconductor Devices, Ltd.'s Web site (www.csd-nec.com) and is easily downloaded and configured con·fig·ure tr.v. con·fig·ured, con·fig·ur·ing, con·fig·ures To design, arrange, set up, or shape with a view to specific applications or uses: for use within Ansoft Designer. This site provides Ansoft Designer users with the ability to search for components by name, performance data, or other specification. NEC Compound Semiconductor Devices, Ltd. will maintain model support and upgrades, while Ansoft will address all customer support for Ansoft Designer.
