Murata’s Sim-Surfing design tool gives users the option of pre-selecting a known part number from a list or by inputting the part based on characteristics such as case size, inductance, and rated current. Sim-Surfing also allows users to plot actual measured data for each selected part. It includes impedance vs. frequency, resistance vs. frequency, and Q vs. frequency. Design engineers can utilize the S-parameters and Netlist provided in this tool to simulate and examine the part’s performance.
