ADS Electro-Thermal Simulator Element
W2349EP
When designing high power RFIC / MMIC components for products such as power amplifier modules, circuit simulation accuracy is dependent on having accurate device temperatures. Many transistor models now include self-heating models, but this does not take into account thermal coupling between devices, nor heat transfer through the die and packaging. This can lead to significant inaccuracies, especially in highly integrated designs where several power transistors are in close proximity. The ADS Electro-ThermalAnalysisSolution provides accurate, "temperature aware" IC simulation results by using device temperatures that take into account thermal coupling, and thermal characteristics of the package.

DDR Bus Simulator
W2309EP
The W2309EP DDR Bus Simulator quickly generates accurate bit-error-rate (BER) contours, masks, and margins between the two, for the DDR memory bus specification published by JEDEC. The simulator achieves this by use of statistical simulation, meaning no lengthy and time-consuming bit pattern is needed. Instead, it constructs the eye diagram from the transmitter, channel, and receiver impulse responses, and from the stochastic properties of a conceptually infinite non-repeating bit pattern. In doing so it avoids the pitfalls associated with precarious dual-Dirac extrapolation of a limited bit pattern from either SPICE-like simulation or from convolutional channel simulation.

DDR3 Compliance Test Bench
W2350EP
The W2350EP DDR3 Compliance Test Bench helps solve the problem of simulation-measurement correlation. In the past, the pre-manufacture design could be simulated and tested using compliance tools from an EDA vendor. And the post-manufacture prototype could be bench tested using compliance tools from test and measurement instrument vendors.However, because of subtle differences between the two vendors independent approaches to compliance, it was almost impossible to correlate the two. This opened the possibility of the pre-manufacture design passing and the post-manufacture prototype failing, necessitating a time-consuming and expensive design spin. In contrast, DDR3 Compliance Test Bench leverages the exact same industry-leading Compliance App used on Keysight Infiniium oscilloscopes. It mimics a real hardware test bench, and, using a scripting technology called "Waveform Bridge," emits the same waveforms that the Infiniium app receives when you are testing in your lab. Thus, the exact same tests no ifs, ands, or buts -- are applied to both the pre-manufacture simulated design and the actual post-manufacture prototype. DDR3 Compliance Test Bench supports not only DDR3 but also LPDDR3.

Interconnect Toolbox Element
W2307EP
The Interconnect Toolbox utility enables you to optimize your PC board (PCB) stack up and transmission line geometry using metrics that matter, namely post-equalizer eye diagram parameters. Other tools will show you the impairments of the lines, such as loss, frequency roll off, and impedance variation, but in today's multi gigabit chip-to-chip links these metrics are inadequate. What really matters is the eye parameters after the line impairments have been mitigated by the signal processing in modern Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes), for example transmitter (Tx) pre-emphasis and reciever (Rx) equalization. In fact the whole point of the signal processing in the I/O of modern chips is to allow you to use lower cost materials and yet still open the eye.

LTE 3GPP Verification Test Bench Element
W2388EP
The W2388EP LTE 3GPP Verification Test Bench Element provides access to the corresponding LTE Baseband Verification Library from SystemVue for use as a pre-defined test bench in ADS or with GoldenGate. It enables circuit designer to easily validate circuit performance against standard-compliant waveforms and measurements such as EVM/ACLR in transmitters, or sensitivity/desensitization in receivers. Latest wireless standards such as LTE are difficult to budget at circuit level, and require simulation using the actual standard-compliant modulated signals in order to fully capture third order nonlinearities, AM/AM and AM/PM distortions, spectral regrowth, and memory effects. Optimizing the design against standard-compliant waveforms and measurements identifies marginal designs earlier, as well as overdesigns that add costly, unnecessary die area or current consumption.
