Ansoft and International Rectifier Announce Support for Power Electronic Design Process.Business Editors PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2003 SIMPLORER(R) Library of Power-Management Components Now Available for Free Download Ansoft Corporation (Nasdaq:ANST ANST Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training ANST After Negative Skin Test ) and International Rectifier International Rectifier Corp. (NYSE: IRF) is a manufacturer of power semiconductors (MOSFET, IGBT, diodes and thyristors), located in El Segundo, California, USA. It has a market capitalization of 2.48 billion USD and is listed on the S&P Midcap 400. , IR(R) (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :IRF IRF Interferon Regulatory Factor IRF International Religious Freedom IRF Institut for Rationel Farmakoterapi (German) IRF Inherited Rights Filter (Novell) IRF Inherited Rights Filter ), today announced the release of a model library containing IR power-management components for use within Ansoft's SIMPLORER(R). The library contains nearly 700 ready-to-use models of IR's diode, insulated gate bipolar transistor (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". (IGBT IGBT Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor IGBT Integrated Gate Bipolar Transistor ), and power metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS (1) (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) See MOSFET. (2) (Mean Opinion Score) The quality of a digitized voice line. It is a subjective measurement that is derived entirely by people listening to the calls and scoring the results from ) components. These devices are key building blocks in the development of advanced power-management systems found in automobiles, aircraft, portable electronics and appliances. The demand for more speed and functionality in these products tests the limits of electric power, making power-management design more critical than ever before. "Our products play a key role in power management," said Eric Persson, Director of Field Applications Engineering at IR. "We realize that Ansoft is the emerging leader in high-performance, multi-domain, system-design solutions. Providing a model library for SIMPLORER will ensure that our current and future customers will have the necessary elements to develop power-management systems using IR components in the industry-leading virtual test environment." The IR library is available for free download from Ansoft's SIMPLORER model database Web site (http://model.simplorer.com). This site provides SIMPLORER users with the ability to search for components by name, performance data, or other specification. Downloaded components can easily be integrated into its local SIMPLORER model library. The download also includes the component datasheet.
