AWR LTCC Process Library (PDK)

We can speed up your LTCC layout process and make you LTCC design stable, more transparent and automated, add simulation capabilities (schematic, EM, Extraction) verify models of components, add DRC and improve order process.

AWR LTCC Process Library Could be implemented in existing or New Project as a PDK (Process Development Kit)

LTCC Development Flow

Adds Support of Such global features During Project Development:

• Additional Components

• Additional Scripts

• Global Project Settings

• Schematic Automation

• Layout Automation

• Simulation Automation

• Design Rules Check Automation

• Manufacturing Automation

• LTCC PDK – Allow You to Use Such Automation Features Directly for Your

  LTCC Process (Number of Layers, Materials…)

• Possibility to Use Combine Process – LTCC + Mount ComponentPackage for EM Simulation

  Additional Components:

  • Allow you to use needed symbols in the schematic and footprints for LTCC External LTCC Components

    Additional Scripts:

  • Allow you to use some features your design as:

    • Design Features (e.g. Automatic VIA Placing or Automatic Graph Generation)

    • External Features – (e.g. GERBER Importer – Allow to Import Some Needed Parts from Another Software )

    • Many Others

Global Project Settings:

Includes Such Important General Setting As:

• Frequency Settings

• Schematic and EM Global Simulation Settings

  And Many Others

EM Co-Simulation of deigned structure

• Automatic extraction to different simulators of structure parts

  • No manual creating of EM is required

  • MOM, FEM and circ.extraction methods are available

• Requires minimum attention of customer

• Fully integrated to design process

• Supports HFSS, CST engines and other

  Co-Simulation of Structure

• Includes parasitic effects

  High correlation with measurement

  Design Rules Check Automation:

• Possibility to Use Different

• Possibility to use Different Precision setting for one manufacturer

  Design Rules Check Automation:

• Pick and Place Data (P&P)

• Gerber Files + Drill List (GERBER)

• Built of Materials (BOM)

• Most LTCC Devices and, which we Support:

Devices

•    Filters
•    Mixers
•    Baluns
•    Matching Circuits
•    Dulexers

        We can design any additional feature using standard AWR capabilities or using
Visual Basic Scripts.
