MACOM releases GaN Product Model Library to speed customer design cycle time
MACOM Technology Solutions Inc of Lowell, MA, USA (which designs and makes semiconductors, components and subassemblies for analog RF, microwave, millimeter-wave and photonic applications) has released its new GaN Product Model Library with the support of Modelithics Inc of Tampa, FL, USA, which provides RF and microwave active and passive simulation models for electronic design automation (EDA). The initial release of the GaN Library includes highly accurate non-linear models for MACOM PURE CARBIDE devices for the MAPC-A1500 (2.6kW, 960-1215MHz), the MAPC-A1501 (1.3kW, 960-1215MHz), and the MAPC-A1101 (85W, DC-3.5GHz).
Product models will be provided to qualified customers at no cost. Each model is developed and validated by Modelithics using extensive linear and non-linear data sets and intended for high power microwave applications. Additional models will be added to the Modelithics MACOM GaN Library on an ongoing basis.
MACOM has joined the Modelithics Vendor Partner (MVP) program. In addition to the latest GaN models, MACOM is sponsoring free extended 90-day trials of all Modelithics models available in the Modelithics COMPLETE Library for MACOM components.
