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.

Description

Multisim™ software combines industry-standard SPICE simulation with an interactive schematic environment that allows for the immediate visualization and analysis of electronic circuit behavior. Its user-friendly interface is designed to assist educators in reinforcing circuit theory and enhancing students' retention of concepts throughout their engineering studies. By integrating robust circuit simulation and analysis into the design workflow, Multisim™ enables researchers and designers to minimize the number of printed circuit board (PCB) prototypes needed, thus reducing development costs significantly. Specifically tailored for educational purposes, Multisim™ serves as a teaching application for analog, digital, and power electronics courses and labs. With its comprehensive suite of SPICE simulation, analysis, and PCB design tools, Multisim™ empowers engineers to efficiently iterate on their designs and enhance the performance of their prototypes while fostering a deeper understanding of electronic principles. This software not only streamlines the design process but also cultivates a hands-on learning experience for students in the field of electronics.
