December 2, 2009... Nitronex and Modelithics announced that they are collaborating to create non-linear models for Nitronex's high-power gallium nitride devices. Nitronex says that the collaboration will combine Modelithics team’s 35+ years of modeling experience with its GaN power devices. Nitronex contends that the collaboration will allow power amplifier designers to achieve best-in-class performance with faster time to market. Initial models will focus on Nitronex’s new thermally improved products aimed at broadband and high efficiency amplifiers for the military communications, electronic warfare, and radar applications, Nitronex indicated.

Modelithics President and CEO Larry Dunleavy commented, “We are very pleased to add Nitronex as a Strategic Modelithics Vendor Partner and look forward to a productive working relationship benefitting designers of efficient, higher power, and broader band GaN PA Designs.” “We are excited to be partnering with Modelithics for non-linear models of our thermally- enhanced power products” said Ray Crampton, Director of Marketing for Nitronex. “This strategic relationship with Modelithics reaffirms Nitronex’s commitment to provide best-in-class tools to designers developing high efficiency, high power and broadband power amplifiers for today’s demanding applications.”

Modelithics will make the models will be available as a free download from its website for Agilent Technologies Advanced Design System (ADS) and AWR Microwave Office (MWO) software at http://www.modelithics.com/mvp/NIT/ . The models will also be included in Modelithics® Select free shareware library, available for ADS and MWO, at www.modelithics.com. Nitronex News Release
