Through Modelithics' Custom Modeling Service customers can order
linear, bias-dependent small signal, noise and/or non-linear
models for components and devices in chip or packaged
format. Model topologies may be customer-specified or
determined based on the advice of Modelithics.
Models
for active and passive surface-mount components are
generated using standard or application-specific test
fixtures to ensure accuracy in the user's design environment.
Using efficient extraction techniques, these models
can be made substrate-scalable to substantially expand
the usability into a wide range of products. Non-linear model capability
addresses a wide range of prediction needs including power, efficiency
and distortion for PA’s and harmonic generation and
compression characteristics for diodes and other active components.
*Global
Models™ for passive components, which represent
an entire range or family of parts, can also be provided
- these models speed-up design time by facilitating
automated circuit optimization algorithms that are integrated
into most computer-aided-engineering (CAE) simulation
tools. Modelithics Global Models™ can be driven
by the nominal part value, substrate characteristics,
and (soon to be added) temperature. Designers can optimize
the part selection for a given circuit requirement while
simultaneously including all parasitics and substrate
effect, significantly cutting design time.
System Level Component (SLC) models, our latest introduction allow linear
and non-linear prediction for higher level functional components like
amplifiers, mixers, filters, switches, resonators, etc.. The same attention
to detail in establishing well defined reference planes,
documenting test conditions used for model validation and development,
used in Modelithics other passive and active model developments
are now extended to our system level component modeling.

All models are provided with complete documentation pertaining to the measurement
conditions, model-to-measurement comparisons, and typical range of validity.
Depending on the model’s intended applications, advanced features validated,
and documented within the data sheets included with each model, include aspects
like substrate and pad scaling, temperature effects and broad-band frequency coverage,
nonlinear performance and noise predictions. |
Characterization
and validation can be performed to ensure that models
are consistent with current device technology and/or manufacturing
methods, or to extend the operating conditions and range
of validity of existing models.
CAE
model library development and maintenance combines custom
modeling, database and periodic model verification services
in a single package. Records include historical documentation
on measurement calibration and device data, model validation
results and relevant CAE platform specific information.
