Agilent Technologies Announces Productivity Breakthroughs with Advanced
Design System 2008 EDA Software
Release Accelerates High-Frequency, High-Speed Communications
Product Design
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Agilent
Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A - News) today announced Advanced Design System
release 2008. Advanced Design System (ADS) is an industry-leading high-frequency,
high-speed electronic design automation (EDA) software platform. This
release contains productivity breakthroughs for faster communications
product design.
“Working closely with our top customers, we’ve
enhanced this ADS release with user interface and technology improvements
that speed the design process,” said Jim McGillivary, general manager
of Agilent’s EEsof EDA division. “In 2008, I am challenging my development
team to double customer productivity for a comprehensive set of typical
design tasks, which we’ll publish and track on our Web site.”
Advanced Design System 2008’s advanced, graphical user interface
enhancements come from the same interface development platform used
by the most popular Internet software tools and search engines, and
contain advanced search and context-dependent features. The speed improvements
gained from this new interface help make software-tools integration
seamless for common and emerging design applications.
Speed
and productivity enhancements include:
• improved project management,
real-time zoom and pan, interactive 3-D layout viewing, stretching,
and cut planes;
• improved LVS (layout vs. schematic) design synchronization,
providing full control over the automation to guarantee the correct
layout;
• updated design rule checking and fast, accurate artwork
export/import for a smoother transition from design to production;
• full 3-D electromagnetic integration into ADS, for designers who
increasingly need electromagnetic analysis for complete communications
product design. The integrated Electromagnetic Design System also contains
a faster bond wire drawing interface;
• the latest multi-processor
computing, including support for today’s 64-bit processors; and
• faster high-frequency Transient simulations, providing average speed
improvements of up to 6x for large circuits.
Because high-speed
digital designers are now facing the same physical design challenges
that Agilent’s EDA design tools have addressed for RF and microwave
design, Advanced Design System 2008 features full support for high-speed,
gigabit link (signal integrity) design, including advanced bit error
rate measurement and analysis.
This is first in a series of
four ADS releases expected in 2008. By the end of the year, Agilent
plans to double productivity for common design and simulation tasks
compared with previous versions of ADS.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
