KEMET Spice Software
Version 3.6.1x
KEMET Spice is a freeware intended to aid design engineers in analyzing the performance of these capacitors over frequency, temperature, ripple, and dc bias conditions. The capacitor types include ceramic (MLCC), film, tantalum, polymer, and aluminum-polymer capacitor types. Each capacitor type behaves differently to the conditions of the circuit, some showing no changes to moderate changes, while others showing very large changes to these conditions. Although it is a stand-alone, Windows based program, it can create files that can be imported into some commercial versions of SPICE software.
Installation ONLY file:
KEMET Spice users can Download KEMET Spice Software - Version 3.6.1x. After the download is complete, double-click on it to install.
This version does not include an update program as the Visual Basic runtime library is different in this version from previous versions. |  | NOTE - Windows Vista users:
You must click on the downloaded setup file and choose “Run as administrator” to install. |

Rev 3.6.1x incorporates the following changes:
- Film capability now includes 564 PEN (GMC, GMW, GPC) devices, 335 PET (MMC) devices, 1178 PPS (SMC, SMW, SPC, SMP253, MDC, MDK, MDS) devices.
- Expanded S-Parameter plots to allow:
- changing line impedance between 50 and 75 ohms (^5 and ^7, respectively),
- changing connection between shunt and series configurations (^O – not 0, toggles back-and-forth), and
- plots showing both magnitude (db) and phase (degrees).
- Added External Spice Model File creations for Ansoft (.ckt), Cadence (.txt, .dol, .dmc), Linear Technology (.xls), Mentor (.zip), NetList (.ckt), NetList Libraries (.lib), S-Parameter 2-port (.s2p), Sigrity (.ckt), and Z-Touchstone 1-port (.zip) data files. File creations may be guided by internal KEMET Spice part numbers, or by downloaded Excel Part List file. (\CKTs\PartList.XLS). User defines ambient temperature and DC bias voltages.
- In defaults selection, allows choice of points-per-decade (frequency) selection among 100, 50 (program default), 25, 20, and 10 data points per decade.
- Fixed the capability to truncate points-per-decade (frequency) in the ASCII file save option while maintaining the points-per- decade (frequency) setting of the program.

KEMET FIT Calculator
KEMET FIT Calculator Software
Version 3.1.0
A method of predicting reliability based on stress and environmental factors has been available for many capacitor types. The calculations found in MIL-HDBK-217 (revision F) allow the ambient temperature, application bias, and environmental factors to create multipliers of established failure rates for many military part types. Based on the monitored reliability of the non-military, commercial part types, these same multipliers can be used to define a projected application failure rate. The failure rates are listed as “FIT” (failures in time), and “MTBF” (mean time before failure).
This calculator software is intended to follow the calculations spelled out in this handbook for the specific part types that KEMET manufactures: ceramic multilayer capacitors, solid-tantalum capacitors, and the latest, the solid-aluminum capacitors. Just enter the capacitance, the voltage rating, and the part type, and the calculations are immediate. Manipulate the temperature and the voltage to see the impacts instantly.
Download the FIT Calculator Software manual in PDF format to see the impact of each element of the program, or activate the Help screen to search for additional information on the calculations and all of the elements.
This software is applicable for Windows(95, 98, 2000 and XP) and NT. Please refer to the program for a revision history from previous versions.
Download KEMET FIT Software - Version 3.1.0 Once you have downloaded the application to your system, click on it to install it.
Add this file to update from previous versions without the need to have administrative rights (no dll or ocx files are copied to the system directory).
