NXP, Transim, and AWR launch online design environment for small-signal RF transistors
May 18, 2010 | Jean-Pierre Joosting | 222900786
AWR®, Transim Technology and NXP Semiconductors have announced the launch of the NXP SimPort Design Center for online design exploration of NXP's small-signal RF transistors.
The online design exploration environment utilizes cutting-edge technology from all three firms and enables engineers to generate custom data sheets for a variety of operating conditions, which is not possible from the nominal conditions found in traditional PDF-based data sheets. AWR’s Microwave Office® and Visual System Simulator™ design suites are showcased within NXP’s SimPort Design Center in order to provide instantaneous performance analysis of test circuits and to populate characteristics within the interactive data sheet itself.
“This online design and analysis environment allows engineers to enter specific operating conditions, such as frequency and termination, and immediately see the effect on a transistor’s characteristics,” said Ronald van Cleef, general manager of RF small-signal business at NXP Semiconductors. “The e-commerce tools built into the SimPort Design Center allow users to quickly order test objects while still working in the interactive data sheet.”
“We’ve worked with NXP several years to develop their broad, powerful portfolio of online design solutions,” said Birgit Knorr, president and CEO of Transim. “Now with AWR’s cooperation, we are able to provide microwave and RF engineers with innovative online high-frequency solutions.”
Transim is a leader in developing online design and support solutions for manufacturers of analog and mixed-signal products, microcontrollers, motor drives, and other complex technical products.
