Analog Devices' RF design tools now support Hittite Microwave products

Analog Devices Inc (ADI) of Norwood, MA, USA (which provides ICs for analog and digital signal processing applications) has announced new releases of its RF design tools, which now provide support for the products of Hittite Microwave Corp (acquired in July 2014).

The ADIsimRF design tool enables engineers to model RF and microwave signal chains using devices from across ADI's RF IC portfolio. ADIsimRF Version 1.9 adds 190 mixers, amplifiers, switches and attenuators, which are primarily from the Hittite portfolio. The ADIsimPLL design tool is a comprehensive and easy-to-use PLL (phased-locked loop) synthesizer design and simulation tool. ADIsimPLL Version 4 has been upgraded to include device models for the HMC703 and HMC704 PLLs and the HMC830, HMC832, ADF4355, ADF4355-2 and ADF5355 integrated PLLs and VCOs (voltage-controlled oscillators).

Since acquiring Hittite, Analog Devices claims that it now offers the broadest portfolio of RF and microwave products covering the entire signal chain, from antenna to bits and back, across the entire frequency spectrum beyond 100GHz. Complemented by data converters, ADI's RF, microwave and millimeter-wave portfolio includes more than 2000 products, from functional blocks to highly integrated solutions, development platforms and modules.
