Vendor Component Libraries

New Component Vendor Libraries. Agilent EEsof has been actively engaged with several component manufacturers to create model libraries that will allow you to access the latest models and technologies. There are more than 35 vendors providing libraries for ADS today.

Latest ADS Libraries

• Astra MTL - LNAs, Wide-Band amplifiers and Switches

• Banpil Photonics - high-speed interconnects     » Press Release - 9 October 2007

• Modelithics has released an enhanced version of their powerful and feature-rich Non-Linear Transistor Model Library for Agilent-ADS. This Modelithics NLT Library upgrade adds several new models, representing dual-gate MOSFET, LDMOS, HBT and HEMT from NXP, NEC and Mitsubishi companies with feature and documentation updates to previously released models.

• Hittite - libraries for GENESYS and ADS

• Samsung (MLCC)

• Thin Film Technology Corporation (TFT) - two new libraries for ADS, one for filters and one for equalizers. Both models include layout footprints.

Other ADS libraries added this year include the following. All of these libraries include layout footprints:

• Coilcraft - Inductors
• Polyfet (Linear) - RF power MOSFET transistors
• Polyfet (Non-Linear) - RF power MOSFET transistors
• Temwell - Filters
• Samyoung - Filters (Layout will be added soon)
• AVX - Inductors, Capacitors, Couplers and Filters

Component vendors use Agilent software, hardware, and expertise to develop models for use in EDA simulation tools. By assisting vendors in this process, and using a web based model delivery approach, Agilent EEsof EDA customers can augment their existing ADS libraries of over 100,000 parts with the latest available parts from the industry.

Industry resources and partners listed on this page provide downloadable ADS Design kits, models in the Agilent EEsof industry standard Touchstone .s2p (S-Parameter) format, ADS compatible SPICE models, large signal device models, or fabrication processes that are compatible with Agilent EEsof products. Some of these models have layout artworks associated with them.
