Description
Ansys Exalto serves as an advanced post-LVS RLCk extraction software that empowers integrated circuit (IC) designers to effectively address unknown crosstalk between various components within the design hierarchy by extracting lumped-element parasitics and creating precise models for electrical, magnetic, and substrate coupling. This tool seamlessly integrates with a wide range of LVS software and can enhance the performance of any RC extraction tool you prefer. With Ansys Exalto's post-LVS RLCk extraction capabilities, IC designers are equipped to make accurate predictions regarding electromagnetic and substrate coupling effects, allowing for signoff on circuits that may have previously been deemed "too complex to analyze." The models that are extracted can be back-annotated to the schematic or netlist, ensuring compatibility with all circuit simulators. As the prevalence of RF and high-speed circuits continues to rise in contemporary silicon systems, electromagnetic coupling has become a primary factor that necessitates precise modeling to ensure the successful fabrication of silicon. Overall, Ansys Exalto represents a crucial advancement in circuit design, helping engineers navigate the complexities associated with modern electronic systems.
Description
Create your photonic integrated circuit within a layout-focused workflow that allows designers to utilize either a drag-and-drop interface or a script-based approach. Both methods are facilitated by a comprehensive custom IC design layout editor, which also manages the physical verification and tape-out stages. L-Edit Photonics allows for rapid photonic design creation through its intuitive drag-and-drop functionality, eliminating the need for coding. Upon finalizing the design, a netlist can be generated to support photonic simulations. The PIC design is entirely integrated within an IC layout editor, enabling users to develop layouts without writing any code, thus supporting a layout-centric approach that does not require a schematic. For those who prefer a schematic flow, S-Edit is available as an optional tool. Moreover, a simulation netlist can be produced for input into a photonic simulator, and photonic simulations are seamlessly incorporated through partnerships with various providers. Additionally, multiple foundries offer photonic PDKs to enhance design capabilities. Overall, this comprehensive workflow simplifies the photonic design process while catering to various designer preferences.
