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

Advance your RF simulation capabilities to effectively design, analyze, and verify radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) beyond conventional methods. Gain assurance through the use of steady-state and nonlinear solvers tailored for both design and verification processes. Accelerate the validation of intricate RFICs with wireless standard libraries designed for efficiency. Ensure precise modeling of components on silicon chips to achieve optimal accuracy. Enhance your designs using load-pull analysis and parameter sweeps for better performance outcomes. Conduct RF simulations within the Cadence Virtuoso and Synopsys Custom Compiler environments to streamline your workflow. Employ Monte Carlo simulations and yield analysis to further boost performance metrics. Early in the design phase, evaluate error vector magnitude (EVM) in alignment with the latest communication standards to ensure compliance. Leverage cutting-edge foundry technology right from the start of your project. It is essential to monitor specifications like EVM through RF simulation during the early stages of RFIC design. The simulations account for the effects of layout parasitics, intricate modulated signals, and digital control circuitry. Utilizing Keysight RFPro Circuit allows for comprehensive simulation in both frequency and time domains, enhancing the overall design process and accuracy. This multifaceted approach ensures that your RFICs not only meet but exceed industry standards.
