Modelithics, Inc. announced the release of version 24.5.4 of the Modelithics Qorvo GaN Library for use with Keysight Technologies’ Advanced Design System (ADS) and Cadence AWR Design Environment®. This release is compatible with Keysight ADS 2022 - 2024 Update 2 and Cadence AWR Design Environment 16 and 17.3+. The Modelithics Qorvo GaN Library is backward compatible with previous Modelithics library releases.

This latest version offers new models for Qorvo’s QPD1035 (40 W) and QPD1035L (40 W) discrete GaN-onSiC HEMTs. The QPD1035 and QPD1035L are 40 W devices with load-pull validation of 4, 5 and 6 GHz and a max frequency of 6 GHz. Both models are non-linear models and include temperature scaling. Also available with this release are two new embedding models for TGF2977-SM (5 W) and QPD1022 (10 W) devices.

The new Modelithics embedding models for the TGF2977-SM (5 W) and QPD1022 (10 W) devices are also added that make it possible to design power amplifiers without comprehensive load-pull analysis. These models enable a new waveform-based PA design strategy that begins with the desired intrinsic waveforms. In addition, they enable direct synthesis of the multi-harmonic impedances needed for the desired intrinsic waveforms. A suitable matching network can then be designed. 

Through the Modelithics Vendor Partner Program, the Modelithics Qorvo GaN Library is available free to qualified customers.
