EMA Offers Expanded Power IC Model Library for Cadence PSpice

Rochester, NY (March 18, 2014) – EMA Design Automation™ (ema-eda.com), a full-service provider of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solutions, and AEi Systems, a world leader in power electronics modeling, analysis and design, today announced version 4.1 of the AEi Systems’ Power IC Model Library for the Cadence® PSpice® simulator with over 550 high fidelity and correlated simulation models for power electronic designs.  “A lot of our customers simulate power supplies and other types of high powered circuitry,” said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA.  “This update to the power IC model library will make it easier for our PSpice customers to obtain high quality bench tested models.”

The Power IC Model Library includes model netlists in PSpice syntax, schematic symbols for both Cadence OrCAD® Capture and legacy schematics, and a set of example application circuits for many of the IC models. All models are compatible with OrCAD Capture version 16.x software.

New in version 4.1:

  • Semiconductors: Power FETs, BJTs, Diodes, Zener Diodes, Varactors, and MOVs
  • Tantalum Capacitors and Inductors
  • Opamps and Comparators
  • Opto-Couplers: Triac, IGBT, and BJT Outputs
  • LED Models

The Power IC Model Library also includes:

  • Popular parts: UCC3895, xx117, UC384x, UC152x, UCC380x, LT124x, UC182x, UC1846, TL431, and IR2110
  • Nonlinear Magnetic Cores, Transformers, Opto-Couplers and MOVs
  • BJTs, Diodes, Zener Diodes, Varactors, Tantalum Capacitors, MOSFETs
  • Models for parts from Texas Instruments, Intersil, ON Semiconductor, Linear Technology, International Rectifier, Micrel, Vishay, and others

Version 4.1 of the Power IC Model Library is being offered at the same price as the previous version: $1,995, plus a yearly maintenance of $495. More details are available at ema-eda.com, including a list of the components and documentation detailing the models’ accuracy and performance.

How MediaTek Optimizes SI Design with Cadence Optimality Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

In the era of 5G/6G communication, signal integrity (SI) design considerations are important in high-speed interface design. MediaTek’s design process usually relies on human intuition, but with Cadence’s Optimality Intelligent System Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver, they’ve increased design productivity by 75X. The Optimality Explorer’s AI technology not only improves productivity, but also provides helpful insights and answers.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
