The 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 fully leverage the process's advanced features. However, the new WIN/AWR PDK fully exploits the process, along with the unique and innovative technologies in the latest version of Microwave Office Software (v2009), as well as AWR ACE™ technology, automatic circuit extraction, the AXIEM™ 3D planar electromagnetic simulator, and the APLAC® multi-index harmonic balance simulator (MRHB™). The WIN/AWR PP50-00 PDK can be included in Microwave Office Software simultaneously with the package and other foundry PDKs to provide a complete co-design environment module.
“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 flows and tools, we bridge the gap between conceptual design and working product.” “WIN Semiconductors’ PH50-00 process continues to receive praise from MMIC designers worldwide,” said Sherry Hess, vice president of marketing at AWR. “Its versatility is unmatched in its high levels of integration and performance. These achievements make the process exceptionally well-suited for the most complex, functional, and dense MMICs. The AWR/WIN PH50-00 PDK allows designers to fully utilize the capabilities of the PH50-00 process.”
