Modelithics COMPLETE Library for Cadence AWR Design Environment

Advantages:

Highly accurate and versatile Modelithics models reduce design time
and costs, increasing productivity.
Modelithics models are measurement-based equivalent circuit models,
and will exhibit physical behavior, even beyond the measurement
frequency.
Concept to product faster and easier.

Gary Burgin, Sumitomo Electric Device Innovations USA:

I have been using Modelithics CLR models for close to 20 years now in my development of High-Power Doherty Amplifiers. I have found that without these models my design cycle time is negatively impacted due to extra design spins required from empirical tuning. Utilizing Modelithics models greatly aids in reducing my design cycle time and limits the amount of board spins required.

Mohit Shringi, Shure Incorporated:

I have been using Modelithics simulation models for over 10 years now. I have had 100% first pass success record in my designs when I use Modelithics CLR, NLD, NLT models, from simple filters, to LNAs, VCOs and nonlinear GaN HPAs. Their team have done some custom Low noise BJT modeling for us, to use in Low phase noise VCOs. After using their models, measured results were very close to simulations. Designing low noise VCOs is a challenging and time-consuming task but using Modelithics custom models helped me gain good confidence and ensured first pass success. I love their prompt customer service. Keep up the good work!

Walter Gordon, P.E., Lexatys LLC:

For years, we resisted purchasing Modelithics models because we had so much experience designing resonant circuits using our internal design compensation rules. Our technicians could “tune up a bad day” and were proud to do so. With the advent of newer communication bands and the availability of precision lumped element components, we could no longer stay ahead of our competitors and deliver to customer expectations. We purchased our first Modelithics license and our engineers immediately began to take advantage of the scalable models. In the years that we’ve been using the library of parts, we’ve seen yield improvements and first pass success on even challenging designs which worked above 18 GHz. Modelithics does an excellent job of keeping their libraries up-to-date with the latest vendor components so that we can take advantage of the advancing art of discrete SMT passive and semiconductor devices. Our technicians don’t miss the challenge as much as we thought that they would. Rather, they now delight in the performance of the precision engineered design running out of the gate.

Thomas Zhang, Ericsson:

Quickness, professionalism, Best. You and your company give me those images.

Tom Kelly, NXP:

I have used Modelithics models for almost 10 years when designing high power amplifiers operating from low MHz to 6GHz and spanning power levels from 5W to 1KW and have had great success in the predicted performance that these models offer over standard s-parameter models. These models have aided in our single iteration success when moving from the paper design to the bench.

Louis Brown, Honeywell:

The scalable footprints in Modelithics’ libraries are very useful, ensuring I can snap my artwork to a grid for EM simulation.

Harvey Kaylie, Mini-Circuits:

I have watched Modelithics grow from inception to become a trusted source of high quality models and data for design use. We are pleased to launch this collaboration for the benefit of our customers.

Tamir Moran, National Instruments:

I have been using Modelithics models to design lumped element circuits such as filters and bias networks in MWO for several years with first pass success. The increasing variety of component families offered in the Modelithics libraries makes part selection easier as well. Rather than dig through lab stock or spend time searching the web for parts, I find that I usually end up designing with components that are readily available in our Modelithics libraries. I’d like to see vendors offer more such models for their parts instead of basic SnP files that don’t seem to work in most cases.
