W2349EP/ET ADS Electro-Thermal Simulator

Data Sheets

Key Benefits

  • AccuracyCircuit simulation results now include thermal effects
  • EfficiencyDirectly integrated into ADS; no need to transfer data to stand-alone thermal solvers
  • SpeedMature, high-capacity thermal solver technology that has been tested on System-on-Chip (SoC) designs with thousands of components

Temperature-Aware Circuit Simulation for RFIC and MMIC Design

As higher power devices are integrated into smaller  packages, thermal issues cause performance degradation, reliability problems, and even failures. Modeling  thermal effects can be challenging for IC designers. Existing thermal solvers are not well integrated into IC design tools, requiring manual and error-prone data transfer between the layout environment, thermal solver and circuit simulators. The Advanced Design System (ADS) Electro-Thermal Simulator provides a full 3-D thermal solver that is tightly integrated with the ADS layout environment and circuit  simulators. Simply add the Electro-Thermal controller to the ADS schematic, start a circuit simulation and the  integrated thermal solver will run in the background. No more manual export of IC layouts to stand-alone thermal solvers; no more manual import of temperature data into the circuit simulators.

Key Features

  • Support for steady-state (Harmonic Balance, DC, AC, and S-parameter) analyses
  • Support for Transient and Circuit Envelope analyses
  • Support for a wide range of GaAs, GaN, Si, SiGe, and other process technologies
  • 2-D and 3-D temperature maps, including “movie mode” for transient simulations
  • Thermal effects of the IC package, and even printed circuit board (PCB), can be included using one of two methods:Including the package/PCB in the ADS layout design
  • Specifying boundary conditions at the IC interface that represent the overall thermal conductivities of the pack­age/PCB
