Modelithics® and IMS Expanding Collaboration

Modelithics® and International Manufacturing Services (IMS) Expanding Collaboration with New 6 Year Plan Tampa, Florida and Portsmouth, Rhode Island (March 14, 2023) – Modelithics and International Manufacturing Services (IMS) have expanded their long term collaboration commitment for an additional six (6) years, which includes development of simulation models for several additional IMS device families, as well as renewing their Sponsoring Modelithics Vendor Partner (MVP) status. Additional high frequency Modelithics Microwave Global Models™ for multiple IMS resistor and attenuator families are planned under the extended agreement. J.J. Silvia III, IMS Vice President, General Manager, states: "IMS is excited to continue this partnership. Applying bench-test data to scalable models found in their library not only provides valuable performance validation, but also benefits our customer design speed and capabilities. High tech customers design with high tech tools that are supported by Modelithics’ software. Modelithics helps our customers gain access to IMS products and data we know can help solve problems in circuit design easily and with accuracy in pre-prototype development." Modelithics is delighted to continue the great collaboration with IMS and is looking forward to developing the new models for IMS components to expand the Modelithics COMPLETE Library and mmWave & 5G Library.

IMS presenting at EDI Con Online 2022

Join IMS at EDI Con Online 2022! Wes Laquerre, Application Engineering Manager at International Manufacturing Services (IMS), will present the Signal Integrity/Power Integrity Workshop. Title: Assessment of Thick & Thin Film Passive Monolithic SMT Resistor Elements in Handling Low Duty Cycle (LDC) Signal Conditions Date: Wednesday, October 05, 2022 Time: 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time Duration: 30 minutes Register Today A study of risks and factors designers must consider when selecting a resistor component which will be exposed to low duty cycle pulse (LDC) power. Mechanisms and techniques to compare or predict durability of a given selection of thick and thin film components against a projected LDC form is also discussed. In the past 10 years, requests for passive resistor elements have revealed a growing trend in application specific signal requirements. These requirements include: moderate to high power, LDC pulses with fast rise/fall times, pulse widths under 1uS, low average power, and pulse repetition frequencies (PRF) ranging from 1 Khz to 40 Khz. Applications generally associated with these types of signals include Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) drivers used for 3D imaging and object recognition, Low Duty Cycle (LDC) algorithms used for [...]

New Models for Attenuators and Resistors Released by Modelithics

Modelithics® and International Manufacturing Services® (IMS) Release New Models for Attenuators and Resistors Tampa, Florida and Portsmouth, Rhode Island (January 31, 2019) – Modelithics and International Manufacturing Services (IMS) have completed the development of eight new broadband Microwave Global Models™ for IMS attenuator and resistor families. The models were developed through the Modelithics Vendor Partner (MVP) Program under a 6-year collaboration plan recently established between Modelithics and IMS. New models are now available for the following IMS components: RC3-0402PW, RC4-0302PW and NDX-1020EZW high frequency resistor families, A-0402WA-C/IMS2652 and A-0603-C/IMS2533 high frequency attenuator families, and the VDR-3725SG very high-power attenuator series. The VDR-3725 attenuator model is validated up to 2 GHz, while all other attenuator and resistor models are validated to 40 or 50 GHz. The new models are substrate scalable, pad scalable and part value scalable, with the exception of the 50-ohm single-value NDX-1020EZW resistor model.
