Momentum port: global ground or differential?
Published on 6, Apr
There are some good uses for ports with an explicit (-) ground reference. Using them for SMD elements, where a device is included as 1-port with (+) on one pad and (-) on the other pad, is not a good idea in most cases. Used in the wrong context, you can get totally unexpected results […]
Automated Inductor Synthesis for IHP technologies
Published on 3, Apr
Semiconductor foundry IHP has licensed Inductor Toolkit for ADS, and now provides this automated inductor synthesis solution to their foundry customers at no cost. Based on target inductance and target frequency, the software will find the inductor geometry with best performance (highest Q factor). Available layouts include IHP’s octagon shaped with/without center tap. Additional inductor […]
Retrofit via array merging to an ADS designkit
Published on 4, Feb
The new Retrofit Viamerge tool does the work for you, and automaticaly creates a new substrate version for automatic viamerging. This makes it very easy to add via merging with derived layers to an existing library or PDK, without manual setup work. Read more …

ADS: Auto-generate 3D passivation for FEM simulation
Published on 11, Dec
In most EM simulations of on-chip layouts, the passivation is assumed planar, so that we can easily simulate it with Sonnet or Momentum. However, in real life the top metal is often coated with a conformal passivation. This appnote described how to configure ADS to automatically build the correct, full 3D passivation for FEM simulation. [read more…]
