The 2009 release of Advanced Design System (ADS) for high-frequency/high-speed co-design of ICs, packages, and boards helps circuit, package, board, and system designers work with a single EDA platform to share simulation models and minimize design rework, costs, and delays in communications product design.
The tool cuts hardware integration turns by revealing unexpected component interactions up front that cause integration failures downstream. It offers key enabling technologies for Co-Design, including X-parameters for nonlinear modeling of off-the-shelf components through direct measurement; and 3D EM components integrated within the circuit and system design flow. ADS 2009 also interoperates with the Cadence and Mentor back-end design platforms to complete the physical implementation. (From $18,000 — available now.)
