ADS Solutions for the MMIC Design Flow

• MMIC Design Suites - Comparison Table

MMIC Designer Pro, MMIC Designer Premier

• E8811A/12A MMIC Designer Pro/Premier

These MMIC design suites are the solution for new customers looking for a comprehensive, end-to-end MMIC design tool.

The MMIC Designer suites include all of the simulation, physical design, design checking components, and surrounding tool infrastructure so that the suite is all that the end user needs to design a MMIC IC that is ready for fabrication.

Physical Designer Pro, Physical Designer Premier

• E8914A/15A Physical Designer Pro/Premier

These physical design suites make it easy to add ADS back-end design (layout through manufacturing) to achieve complete ADS front to back design flow integration.

These design suites are ideal for customers who are now using Series-IV, MDS, or ADS for schematic design and simulation and third-party tools in the back-end design process.

Momentum Circuit Designer

• E8819A Momentum Circuit Designer

Momentum Circuit Designer adds planar electromagnetic simulation to the MMIC design flow.

MMIC design using ADS is supported by foundry design kits from leading custom IC manufacturers worldwide.
