Advanced Design System 2019 Update Release Notes

ADS 2019 Update 0.1 Release Notes
Release: January 18, 2019

ADS 2019 Update 0.1 (minor update release) is a cumulative minor update release installed on ADS
2019 (base release). You can upgrade your existing ADS installation (ADS 2019) to ADS 2019
Update 0.1 without uninstalling the existing version.

Version
490.update0.1

Platform Support
      Supported Platforms: Windows and Linux 64-bit.

Enhancements
ADS 2019 Update 0.1 includes enhancements in LVS, EM Integration, and RFPro.

LVS
      LVS Commands now supports deactivate and short for components with more than two pins.
      LVS Commands now supports connect component pins for components with more than two pins.

EM Integration
      iRCX import enhanced for 7nm iRCX v1.1p2 with extra p76 layers.

RFPro
      S-Parameters window now enables dataset export.
      Port order and other port attributes are preserved as defined in layout view.
      Backport Momentum module from ADS 2020 to ADS 2019 Update 0.1.

Issues Addressed
ADS 2019 Update 0.1 addresses issues related to Circuit Simulation, Data Display, Design Editing,
Design and Technology Management, Electrothermal, EM Integration, FEM, Momentum, Power
Electronics, Signal Processing and SIPro/PIPro/RFPro.

Circuit Simulation

                                                                                                    4
Advanced Design System 2019 Update Release Notes

      ADS VTB simulation now is not impacted even if GG exists in $PATH.

Data Display
      Data Display axis scaling now accepts decimal increments (On Linux).

Design and Technology
      Fixed the issue where the "technology cant be saved" error is displayed while unarchiving a workspace.
      Fixed crash while unarchiving a workspace with invalid full path.
      Improved workspace archive size and cells in Select Referenced Items.
      Version Control: Improved Technology Setup behavior with read only or checked in technology.
      Fixed rodCreateRect failing if pin was requested without netName.
      Verilog-A models erroneously check out Interoperability License.
      dbCreatePolygon() Lisp function now compresses the point array before creating the polygon.

Design Editing
      Corrected the message in Via/Pad editor.

Design Kits (Si-RFIC PDK Model Include Utility)
      Fixed the ADS hang issue while changing global sections in case of Multiple Libraries/tabs.
      Saving the current scenario now saves the corner sections correctly.
      While creating new scenario the Global Section is now reset to "None".

Electrothermal
      Different top-level cells (test benches) of same workspace now does not overwrite the same re-use
      file, but write and use differently named re-use files.
      Fixed the issue where Heatwave viewer does not open post simulation, if the ETH viewer is already
      open from previous simulation.
      Cancelling the Floorplanner simulation now completely releases or stops the simulator and allows you
      to launch any more simulations.

EM Integration
      RFPro schematics are now created correctly.
      RFPro schematics now does not fail for 'bloated' symbols.

FEM
      FEM with zero calibration now does not give unphysical results.

Momentum
     Improved accuracy of fixture de-embedding.

Power Electronics
     Fixed the PSPICE import crash.

Signal Processing
     Fixed the ADS 2019 crash while simulating WLAN_11n example workspace.

SIPro/PIPro/RFPro
     SIPro/PIPro
        Plotting S-parameters now dose not take long in SIPro.
        Fixed the issue where PASI was giving wrong results with virtual pins.
        ODB++ Import now does not have gap in negative layer slot shape.
        Port Excitation window now works fine when "Multiple Excitation" option is selected in the
        Magnetic Field of the PIPro AC analysis.
     RFPro
        Virtuoso RFPro: Setup works fine when changing back component role from circuit to subdesign.
        Virtuoso RFPro generated schematic now does not cause Check and Save error.
        Circuit Excitation in RFPro now works fine.

                                                                                                        6
