Description
BV Circuits offers a versatile software platform that operates both in the cloud and on desktop systems for the evaluation of electronic schematics prior to the development of PCBs. Hardware engineers can submit a schematic PDF, a compatible EDA netlist, along with a bill of materials that includes manufacturer part numbers for analysis. The platform meticulously examines the schematic images and circuit connections, verifying component pin assignments, checking compatibility, assessing design rules, and analyzing logical behavior to uncover any possible errors and areas for enhancement. Users receive a detailed report outlining findings, warnings, and recommended actions to facilitate design investigation during the verification and review stages. BV Circuits accommodates file exports from various tools including KiCad, OrCAD, Altium Designer, EasyEDA, and Siemens Xpedition/PADS. For those looking to try the service, there is a free plan that allows limited weekly analysis previews, while paid subscriptions unlock comprehensive reports, PDF downloads, and monthly analysis credits. Additionally, an enterprise desktop version is available for organizations with greater needs, ensuring that all users can find a suitable option for their schematic review requirements.
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.
