See chip and MCM. Materials, part of DuPont Electronic Technologies, today announced the availability of a process design kit (PDK PDK Phi Delta Kappa (professional organization for teachers) PDK Portal Development Kit (SAP Enterprise Portal) PDK Peachtree-Dekalb Airport (Atlanta, GA, USA) ) that enables radio-frequency (RF), microwave, and millimeter wave designers to access the DuPont[TM]GreenTape[TM] low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology within AWR's Microwave Office([R]) 2006 software. Using the DuPont LTCC PDK in conjunction with the Microwave Office industry-leading, open and integrated design platform, RF, as well as monolithic microwave integrated circuit MMICs, or Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits, are a type of integrated circuit (IC) devices that operate at microwave frequencies (1 GHz to 300 GHz). They typically perform functions such as microwave mixing, power amplification, low noise amplification, and high (MMIC (Monolithic Microwave IC) An integrated circuit used in high-frequency applications such as mobile phones. Also known as "monolithic microwave/millimeter-wave IC," MMICs combine transistors and passive devices (resistors, capacitors, etc. ), and hybrid circuit designers, can improve circuit design productivity, shorten product development cycle, and speed time-to-market for their high-frequency products. The PDK gives Microwave Office users faster and easier access to the DuPont low loss lead-free 943 Green Tape[TM] LTCC system. The system is ideal for high-frequency applications, delivering high density functionality; excellent reliability, low power requirements, and low cost interconnect packaging. "Historically, designers have had tremendous obstacles to surmount sur·mount tr.v. sur·mount·ed, sur·mount·ing, sur·mounts 1. To overcome (an obstacle, for example); conquer. 2.

To place something above; top. in working in LTCC because all they have had are just material parameters," said John Voultos, regional segment manager, telecom and high frequency, DuPont Microcircuit Materials. "With the full PDK, it is now easier than ever before for design engineers to benefit from the DuPont[TM] GreenTape[TM] LTCC system, and we are very pleased to be working together with a leading EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. supplier like AWR to make this possible." "DuPont is very much in the forefront of doing what it takes by thinking out of the box to bring LTCC technology directly to the designer with this kit," said Dr. Michael Heimlich, microwave marketing segment director at AWR. "The open Microwave Office 2006 design platform integrated with the DuPont[TM] Green Tape[TM] LTCC process will greatly benefit not only customers of both companies, but the high-frequency design community as a whole. We look forward to continuing to expand the capabilities of these kits." For more information on the DuPont[TM] GreenTape[TM] LTCC system, please visit mcm.dupont.com.
