Analog Devices updates its RF design tools

2 September 2015 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT Design Automation

Analog Devices announced new releases of its popular RF design tools, which now provide support for Hittite Microwave Corporation products, which Analog Devices acquired in 2014.

The ADIsimRF design tool enables engineers to model RF and microwave signal chains using devices from across the company’s RF IC portfolio. Version 1.9 of the software adds 190 mixers, amplifiers, switches and attenuators, which are primarily from the Hittite portfolio.

The ADIsimPLL design tool is a comprehensive and easy-to-use PLL (phased-locked loop) synthesiser design and simulation tool. ADIsimPLL Version 4 has been upgraded to include device models for the HMC703 and HMC704 PLLs and the HMC830, HMC832, ADF4355, ADF4355-2 and ADF5355 integrated PLLs and VCOs (voltage-controlled oscillators).
