ANALOG DEVICES’ HIGH SPEED ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL BEHAVIOR MODELS
NOW AVAILABLE FOR AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES’ ADVANCED DESIGN SYSTEM EDA SOFTWARE
PLATFORM
Norwood, MA (3/24/2008) - Analog
Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors
for signal processing applications and the market leader in data converters,
announced today the availability of its high-speed analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) behavior models for the Advanced Design System (ADS)
EDA software platform from Agilent Technologies. The Agilent ADS design
integration package features a broad set of simulation technologies
for developers of wireless products, such as cellular and portable phones,
pagers, wireless networks, radar and satellite communications systems,
and high-speed digital serial links.
Analog Devices’ analog-to-digital
converter behavior models are designed to help customers through the
complex and intricate design process that requires numerous simulations,
computations and evaluations under a variety of frequencies and stimuli
in order to achieve desired performance objectives. With ADI’s analog-to-digital
converter models, Agilent’s ADS users can now identify and test off-the-shelf
converters for their designs during the early stages of development,
eliminating costly re-specification and re-design steps. In addition,
Agilent’s ADS enables fully standard-compliant evaluations for 4th-Generation
(4G) systems such as HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access), 3GPP
LTE (3rd-Generation Partnership Long Term Evolution) and WiMAX.
Analog Devices library of ADC models support the company’s comprehensive
set of evaluation tools that enable designers to accurately model the
typical performance of ADI’s broad range of high speed converters. ADI’s
ADC model library supports ADIsimADC®, ADCAnalyzer™ and VisualAnalog™,
each providing designers with consistent results at varying stages of
the simulation and evaluation process. ADI’s ADC models are available
now free via download from the Analog Devices web site at www.analog.com/ADCmodels
and now also support the Agilent Advanced Design System.
