"KEMET has combined many key features of the Spice desktop software with the speed and portability of a browser-based application," stated John Prymak, KEMET Director, Advanced Applications and author of KEMET Spice. "This web-based version is compatible with Windows, Mac and iPad platforms, and because it runs on a server, file downloads to the operating computer are not necessary," continued Prymak.

Features and Benefits of Spice for the Web:

• Runs on the server with no downloads to the operating computer. The screens show selected plots and the applications allows for printing or saving the data.
• Evaluates typical KEMET capacitor performance versus frequency (Impedance and ESR, Capacitance and ESL, Ripple Currents and Ripple Voltage, S-Parameters s11 or s21) and time (dv/dt and Cap/dt)
• Change the ambient temperature, bias voltage and frequency range of the plots
• Plot 10 different part types, 10 different temperatures and 10 different bias voltages  
• Plot temperature rise versus ripple current for 10 discreet frequencies for one part type 
• Generate NetList types of EDA model files for each plot  
• Pick-and-select part numbers from a list or enter the KEMET part number directly
