AWR and WIN Semiconductors Announce Process Design Kit for H2W PH50-00 GaAs Foundry Process.Fully exploits advanced WIN process and AWR AWR Automatic Workload Repository (Oracle database) AWR Applied Wave Research (El Segundo, CA) AWR Adventist World Radio AWR Advanced Warranty Replacement AWR American Warmblood Registry Microwave Office[R] 2009 software EL SEGUNDO, Calif. & TAO YUAN SHIEN, Taiwan -- AWR and WIN Semiconductors Corporation (WIN) today announced the release of the WIN/AWR H2W PH50-00 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) ). The PDK for the WIN PH50-00 GaAs enhancement/depletion-mode pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) and heterojunction bipolar transistor The heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is an improvement of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that can handle signals of very high frequencies up to several hundred GHz. It is common in modern ultrafast circuits, mostly radio-frequency (RF) systems. (HBT HBT Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor HBT HyCult Biotechnology (Uden, The Netherlands) HBT Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (interferometer) HBT Herring Bone Twill HBT Heflex Bioengineering Test ) foundry process is the latest in AWR's series of PDKs available to 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. ) designers. WIN PH50-00 is a high-frequency, high-power MMIC process that has been in production since 2007. Until now, PDKs and design tools have lacked the technology needed to take full advantage of the advanced features in the process. However, the new WIN/AWR PDK announced today fully exploits the process along with the unique, innovative technologies in the latest version of Microwave Office software (v2009), as well as AWR's ACE(TM) automatic circuit extraction technology, AXIEM AXIEM Absolute Excellence in Electronic Media (TM) 3D planar electromagnetic simulator, and APLAC APLAC Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation APLAC Advanced Placement Language and Composition ([R]) multi-rate harmonic balance (MRHB MRHB Military Retirement Health Benefits [TM]) simulator. The WIN/AWR PP50-00 PDK can be resident in Microwave Office software simultaneously with packaging and other foundry PDKs to provide a complete module co-design environment. "The latest WIN/AWR PDK provides customers with the most accurate models available for pHEMT and HBT process technologies," said Gary St. Onge, senior vice president of international sales at WIN Semiconductors. "By facilitating our customers' design flow with advanced compound semiconductor processes as well as advanced 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. tools and flows, we bridge the gap from design concept to working product." "The PH50-00 process from WIN Semiconductors continues to win high praise from MMIC designers around the world," said Sherry Hess, vice president of marketing at AWR. "Its versatility is unmatched in enabling high levels of integration and performance. These achievements make the process exceptionally well suited for the most complex, functionally-dense MMICs. The AWR/WIN PH50-00 PDK allows designers to embrace the full potential of the PH50-00 process." Pricing and Availability The AWR/WIN PH50-00 PDK is available for immediate use within AWR's Microwave Office v2009 software. All AWR/WIN PDKs are distributed by WIN Semiconductor, free of charge to qualifying customers.
