New Signal Integrity Models for ADS

Agilent EEsof continues to work with industry partners, giving you access to the latest models and technologies. This month Samtec, a worldwide interconnects manufacturer, has created a new library for ADS for Signal Integrity Interconnects, including layout footprints for use with Agilent ADS Simulators. The models can be downloaded free of charge from Samtec’s website. Models are packaged in connector family libraries making them easy for ADS users to install and use. Single-line and multiple-coupled-line models for numerous stack height connector sets are included in each library. ADS users can send inquiries related to Samtec’s connector model libraries ADS@samtec.com.
