Modelithics has announced the release of version 24.5.4 of the Modelithics Qorvo GaN Library for use with Keysight Technologies’ Advanced Design System (ADS) and Cadence AWR Design Environment®. This release is compatible with Keysight ADS 2022 - 2024 Update 2 and Cadence AWR Design Environment 16 and 17.3+. The Modelithics Qorvo GaN Library is backwards-compatible with previous Modelithics library releases.
This latest version offers new models for Qorvo’s QPD1035 (40 W) and QPD1035L (40 W) discrete GaN-on-SiC HEMTs. The QPD1035 and QPD1035L are 40-W devices with load-pull validation of 4, 5, and 6 GHz and a max frequency of 6 GHz. Both models are non-linear models and include temperature scaling. Also available with this release are 2 new embedding models for TGF2977-SM (5 W) and QPD1022 (10 W) devices.
The new Modelithics embedding models for the TGF2977-SM (5 W) and QPD1022 (10 W) devices are also added that make it possible to design power amplifiers (PAs) without comprehensive load-pull analysis. These models enable a new waveform-based PA design strategy that begins with the desired intrinsic waveforms. In addition, they enable direct synthesis of the multi-harmonic impedances needed for the desired intrinsic waveforms. A suitable matching network can then be designed.
Through the Modelithics Vendor Partner (MVP) Program, the Modelithics Qorvo GaN Library is available free to qualified customers.
