QSPICE™ is a new generation of circuit simulation software that provides power and analog designers significantly higher levels of design productivity through improved simulation speed, functionality and reliability. In addition to advancing the state of the art in analog simulation technology, QSPICE allows designers to simulate complex digital circuits and algorithms. Its unique combination of modern schematic capture and fast mixed-mode simulation make it the ideal tool to solve the increasingly complex hardware and software challenges faced by today's system designers.

Greensboro, NC, July 25, 2023 – Qorvo® (Nasdaq: QRVO), a leading global provider of connectivity and power solutions, today announced the release of QSPICE™, a new generation of circuit simulation software that provides power and analog designers significantly higher levels of design productivity through improved simulation speed, functionality and reliability.

In addition to advancing the state of the art in analog simulation technology, QSPICE allows designers to simulate complex digital circuits and algorithms. Its unique combination of modern schematic capture and fast mixed-mode simulation make it the ideal tool to solve the increasingly complex hardware and software challenges faced by today's system designers.

“QSPICE enables an entirely new generation of mixed-mode circuit simulation,” said Jeff Strang, general manager for Qorvo’s Power Management business. “In the past, power designers relied on analog circuits and silicon power switches. Today, digital control and compound semiconductors are common elements of advanced power designs. Whether an engineer is developing AI algorithms for EV battery charging, optimizing a Qorvo pulsed-radar power supply or evaluating the newest silicon carbide FETs, QSPICE is the perfect platform for innovation.”

Qorvo's QSPICE is available free of charge and offers numerous enhancements over legacy analog modeling tools. These improvements include:

• Complete support for advanced analog and digital system simulations, such as those used in AI and machine-learning applications.
• An upgraded simulation engine that uses advanced numerical methods and is optimized for modern computing hardware, including a GPU-rendered user interface and SSD-aware memory management, to provide dramatically higher speed and accuracy.
• Reduced overall runtimes and a 100% completion rate, based on Qorvo benchmark tests with a suite of challenging test circuits. This compares to a failure rate of up to 15% with these same test circuits using other popular SPICE simulators.
• Availability of a regularly updated QSPICE model library featuring Qorvo’s silicon carbide and advanced power management solutions, making it easy for customers to evaluate and design with Qorvo power.

QSPICE is available now at www.qspice.com and is actively supported by Qorvo as well as a robust user community through Qorvo's QSPICE forum at forum.qorvo.com.

Qorvo announces the world’s first front-end power module covering the 2-18 GHz frequency range. The QPF0219 is a 10W multi-chip front-end module that integrates a transmit/receive switch, a limiter, a low-noise amplifier and a power amplifier, making it ideal for electronic warfare, multifunction wideband arrays, radar and communications.

Greensboro, NC, June 6, 2023 – Qorvo® (Nasdaq: QRVO), a leading global provider of connectivity and power solutions, today announced the world's first front end power module covering the 2-18 GHz frequency range. The QPF0219 is a 10W multi-chip Front End Module (FEM) that integrates a transmit/receive (T/R) switch, a limiter, a low-noise amplifier and a power amplifier, making it ideal for electronic warfare, multifunction wideband arrays, radar and communications applications.

Available in an 8 x 8 mm air cavity QFN package, the QPF0219 delivers exceptional performance in a highly compact footprint. The multi-die QPF0219 offers the optimal semiconductor technology for each functional block to maximize performance in challenging radar applications. The power amplifier and T/R switch utilize GaN-on-SiC while the limiter and LNA use GaAs technology. Transmit power is 10W saturated with 20% PAE and large signal gain is 13 dB. The receiver noise figure is 4 dB, small signal gain is 14 dB and the P1dB is 21 dBm.

Doug Bostrom, general manager of Qorvo's Defense and Aerospace group in the High Performance Analog business, said, "The Qorvo portfolio of front end modules continues to surpass every performance parameter – power, power-added efficiency and bandwidth – all in exceptionally compact packages. These newest additions reflect our continued commitment to providing defense and communication system designers with the highest-performing solutions that reduce component count, footprint and costs."

QPF0219 samples and production devices are available from Qorvo and authorized distributors.
