1. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use the design kit (kit that provides the device model parameters and layout
information for NEC Electronics Corporation Compound Semiconductor Devices Division products for use in
Microwave Office, hereafter referred to as “design kit”) from installation to performing simulation on the Designer
schematic screen.
Although the required operations can basically be performed by operating the design kit in accordance with the
figures in this manual, some operations may differ partially depending on the environment used.
This manual is described based on the following environment. See the manuals for the PC, etc. used in the actual
environment.
<Environment used in this manual>
Platform :PC
OS :WindowsTM XP Professional
Microwave Office :Version 7.0
Microwave Office installation directory :C:\Program Files\AWR\AWR2006\
Caution If you are using Microwave Office in an environment that is always connected to the Internet, then
you do not need to install this design kit. Device parameters and layout information that is
identical to that provided by this design kit can be used by selecting Circuit Elements – Libraries
– *AWR web site in the Microwave Office element browser. (However, it may not be possible to
use the XML Library depending on the network environment.)
2. DESIGN KIT DOWNLOAD AND UNZIPPING FILE
Download the design kit and unzip it using the compression/extraction application included with the kit.

3. DESIGN KIT INSTALLATION
(1) Move the unzipped design kit (all files in \NEC_DEVICES) to C:\Program Files\AWR\AWR2006\Library.
Caution If the NEC_DEVICES folder already exists in this Library folder, delete the NEC_DEVICES folder
before moving the decompressed design kit.
The directory in the figure above is included in
\NEC_DEVICES.
<R>
Technical Note PX10427EJ04V0TN 7
(2) Open lib.xml in C:\Program Files\AWR\AWR2006\Library using a text editor such as MemoPad and add the
line shown in the figure below. Save this file and close the text editor.
Caution If the design kit has been installed before and this added line already exists, do not change
lib.xml.
<R>
Technical Note PX10427EJ04V0TN 8
4. DESIGN KIT APPLICATION
(1) Start up Microwave Office (or restart it if it is already running) and open a circuit diagram screen (Schematic).
Technical Note PX10427EJ04V0TN 9
(2) Open the element browser and select [Circuit Elements] → [Libraries] → [NEC_DEVICES]. The device model
categories included in this design kit are displayed in the upper panel. When a category is selected, a list of the
device models included in that category is displayed in the lower panel.
<R>
Technical Note PX10427EJ04V0TN 10
(3) Drag the device model and place it on the schematic.
Select the device to be simulated from the lower frame of the element browser and drag it to the schematic.
The device can be placed as shown below by clicking it.
<R>
Technical Note PX10427EJ04V0TN 11
(4) When the layout display command is selected, the corresponding package is displayed.
<R>
Technical Note PX10427EJ04V0TN 12
Caution When the NEC_DEVICES library is called on the circuit diagram, the following warning message
may be displayed. This warning message is displayed as a result of a mismatch between the size
of the layout database currently in use and the database size of the NEC_DEVICES library.
The database size of the NEC_DEVICES library is 0.0005 mm.
Otherwise, the basic part usage is the same as for the standard component of Microwave Office.
