• Workspace
• The main project directory.
• Can contain many libraries. Each library can have
different technology.
• Library
• Refer to specific technology, that means the layer
definition and unit is fixed.
• Cell
• Designs or test-benches in one library.
• Can contain many views for different types of
design
• View
• Different types of design such as schematic, layout
and emModel.

1. 3D Distributed Model
Vertical and Horizontal current of vias are considered
For high accuracy
2. 2D Distributed Model
Vertical current of Vias are considered
Recommended for IC. Usually via array is simplified to single via.
There is no horizontal current of merged vias.
3. Lumped Model
Vias are replaced with LR lumped model. Meshes are not generated
for vias. Mutual inductance and self, mutual capacitance are not
considered.

• Coilsys is a new tool in ADS2017 for P-cell creation, model synthesis and inductor finding. It
provides a turn-key solution for user to design and optimize inductors and transformers quickly.
• To obtain more flexibility, users can use AEL macro for customized layout. AMC can create EM
based model for parameterized layout. The parameterized layout is not only useful in inductor
design but also in antenna, package and other passive components.
• Momentum provides a fast and accurate EM solver for inductor simulation. FEM can be an
alternative in ADS environment.
