W2303EP Datasheet, PDF (3/5 Pages) Keysight Technologies – Keysight EEsof EDA

The W2304 Verilog-AMS Element is a superset of W2303 by adding the support of
analog-mixed signal models such as hi-speed SERDES (Serializer-Deserializer) and PLL
(phase-locked loops) for high-speed and RF communication applications. It also enables
and manages the co-simulation of Verilog-AMS models in ADS Transient- Convolution
simulator W2302 with third party digital simulator such as Cadence NCSim or Mentor
ModelSim to analyze the analog, digital and mixed-signal aspects of a circuit and system
design simultaneously. Verilog-AMS co-simulation requires only the ADS Transient-
Convolution simulator (W2302). It does not require Keysight Ptolemy.
The W2303 and W2304 Verilog-A/AMS Elements include:
– Support for industry-standard Verilog-A and Verilog-AMS model development in ADS,
with run-time speed and convergence comparable to built-in ADS models.
– Simulation and optimization in ADS time-, frequency- and envelope-domain system
and circuit simulators, with full access to powerful internal convergence algorithms.
– At least 10x less lines of code compared with C-language-based models.
– Fully portable model development for use in all Verilog-A/AMS compatible simulators,
distributable through design kits.
– Verilog-A/AMS model parameters extracted from measurements in the Keysight
ICCAP device modeling environment.
– Verilog-AMS models that can be co-simulated in the ADS Transient-Convolution
– simulator along with 3rd party digital simulators such as Cadence NCSim and Mentor
Modelsim.
– Verilog-A source codes for new models.
– Verilog-A Source codes for built-in devices.
Verilog-AMS custom analog-mixed-signal models can be developed and co-simulated in ADS Transient-Convolution simula-
tor with third party digital simulators such as NCSim and Modelsim.
