Introduction
The W2303 Verilog-A and W2304 Verilog-AMS elements are analog and analog-mixed signal behavioral modeling
and simulation environments for the Advanced Design System (ADS). ADS is the flagship product from Keysight
Technologies’ EEsof EDA, the technology and innovation leader in high-frequency mixed-signal electronic design
automation (EDA).
ADS is the only design simulation platform that enables the co-design of IC, package, and board in high-frequency
and high-speed applications. It seamlessly integrates system, circuit, and full 3D electromagnetic simulation with
Keysight Technologies’ test instrumentation, resulting in repeatable, first-pass electronic design success.
The W2303 Verilog-A Element enables analog behavioral modeling with the industry standard Verilog-A language
within ADS. Used for applications ranging from transistors to MEMs, the Verilog-A models are compiled for speed
and can be simulated and optimized with any of the time-, frequency- or envelope-domain system and circuit simula-
tors in ADS. The user-defined models using standard Verilog-A equation constructs are intelligently compiled in ADS
to use the fast and robust convergence algorithms already engineered for built-in ADS models, thus eliminating the
special formulation of behavioral equations for specific simulators to converge. A comprehensive library of valuable
Verilog-A source codes are supplied for new and built-in ADS models to allow fast new model development or to
efficiently customize the underlying model equations. Customized Verilog-A models can contain parameters that can
be extracted from measurements in Keysight’s powerful IC-CAP (Integrated Circuit Characterization and Analysis
Program) parameter extraction and device modeling software environment that also controls instrumentation and
probe stations.
