Try the Power includes free PDKs, a free 90-day lease for AWR’s flagship high-frequency design software, Microwave Office® design suite, and a reduced-rate prototype development quickturn (PDQ) shared-wafer foundry run using the advanced UMS PPH25X process. The program commences 15 November 2008 and runs through 31 May 2009 (chips delivered).
UMS has developed and qualified for high frequency and high power designs the PPH25X pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process. This process features a very high breakdown voltage, which provides high power density up to one watt per millimeter of gate periphery. Optimized small via-hole definitions through the 70µm substrates thickness can be directly connected to the sources of the transistors, thereby reducing parasitics and simplifying wideband amplifier designs. The very high performance of the PPH25X process (45GHz of Ft), makes it especially useful for power design at very high frequencies. The PPH25X process is fully qualified and open in foundry mode.
AWR’s Microwave Office software encompasses all the tools essential for high-frequency design: linear and non-linear circuit simulators, electromagnetic (EM) analysis tools, integrated schematic and layout, statistical design capabilities, and parametric cell libraries with built-in design-rule check (DRC). The design suite provides innovative technology, flow and choice, delivering unprecedented ease-of-use, openness, and interoperability, as well as integration with best-in-class tools for each part of the design process.
