Xtensa Xplorer serves as a cockpit for basic design management, invocation of Tensilica processor configuration tools (Xtensa processor generator, TIE Compiler) and software development tools. Xtensa Xplorer is particularly useful for the development of TIE (Tensilica Instruction Extension) instructions – designer-defined instruction extensions to the Xtensa processor – that maximize performance for a particular application. Different Xtensa processor and TIE configurations can be saved, profiled against the target C/C++ software, and compared. Xtensa Xplorer even includes automated graphing tools that create spreadsheet-style comparison charts of performance. Available versions: 10.1.11 , 9.0.18 , 8.0.8 , 7.0.9 ,… Xtensa Xplorer dramatically accelerates the processor optimization cycle by providing an automated, visual means of profiling and comparing different processor configurations. Since it only...

Modelithics announced the release of the latest version, v22.2, of the Modelithics COMPLETE Library for use with the Cadence AWR Design Environment Platform. This version adds nearly 50 new models for various components to the Modelithics COMPLETE Library. With these additions, the Modelithics COMPLETE Library now includes over 825 models that represent over 25,000 passive and active RF/microwave components. This collection of simulation models comprises surface-mount RLC components, diodes, transistors, amplifiers, attenuators, filters, couplers and other system components. Version 22.2 adds new scalable Microwave Global Models™ to the Modelithics COMPLETE Library, including five models for Amotech capacitors, three models for Coilcraft inductors, three models for Kemet capacitors, three models for Kyocera-AVX capacitors, three models for Smiths Interconnect resistors and one for...
