ADI releases enhanced RF design software
tools to support its latest RF ICs
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) has released two enhanced RF
design software tools; ADIsimRF Rev. 1.5 and ADIsimPLL Version
3.4 .
Key Features of ADIsimRF Version 1.5:
Support for ADI's newest high-performance RF ICs
Increased visibility to signal levels within the signal
chain, with the RF power in each stage displayed along with
the peak and rms back-off from the stage's 1-dB compression
point (P1dB)
Ability to set peak-to-average ratio and back-off thresholds
in order to warn the user if the rms and/or peak power in
a particular stage approaches the 1-dB compression point
Calculate the inter-stage RF power loss between two adjacent
devices with mismatched impedance levels; voltage domain
signal levels such as rms voltage, peak-to-peak voltage,
and noise spectral density in nV/vHz; and signal quality
metrics such as SNR, SFDR, IMD, and ACLR
Compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7
ADIsimPLL Version 3.4 Adds Support for Newest Highly-Integrated
PLLs

Key Features of ADIsimPLL:
The ADIsimPLL design tool is a PLL synthesizer design and
simulation tool.
All key non-linear effects that can impact PLL performance
can be simulated, including phase noise, Fractional-N spurs,
and anti-backlash pulse.
Fully compatible with prior releases, the ADIsimPLL Version
3.4 design tool eliminates time-consuming iterations from
the PLL/synthesizer development process.
ADIsimPLL Version 3.4 design tool offers support for the
company's latest PLL synthesizers, including the new ADF4351
PLL for base station and general-purpose applications and
the ADRF6850 integrated broadband receiver for satellite
applications.
