Passives manufacturer extends helping hand to design engineers

The leading manufacturer of advanced passive components AVX, has developed a new software product library for use with Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS). In enabling customers to perform diagnostics on circuit designs before the manufacturing process, this saves time and money.

Software product library saves time Software product library saves time

It features design links for RF architecture applications to generate complex, highfrequency systems and circuit designs faster. With a complete set of simulation technologies ranging from frequency- and time-domain circuits to electromagnetic fields, ADS lets designers fully characterize and optimize designs. The single, integrated design environment provides system and circuit simulators, along with schematic capture, layout, verification capability. It therefore eliminates the delays associated with changing design tools midcycle.

AVX's ADS library includes 0402 to 1210 Accu-P capacitors, 0402 to 0805 Accu-L capacitors, 0402 and 0603 LGA couplers, 0603 and 0805 surface mount couplers, 0603 and 0805 low-pass filters, and 0805 3dB couplers. It may be accessed at: http://www.avx.com/SpiApps/default.asp#r fmicrowave
