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

ZenitPCB Layout serves as an outstanding tool for generating professional printed circuit boards (PCBs). This user-friendly and adaptable CAD software enables you to complete your projects efficiently within a short timeframe. Available as freeware for personal or semi-professional use, it is restricted to 800 pins, effectively distinguishing between hobbyist and professional endeavors. With ZenitPCB Layout, you can initiate your designs from either a schematic capture or directly from the layout. The software is equipped with all necessary features to produce high-quality PCBs, accommodating both single-sided and double-sided designs, while adhering to individual project requirements or general guidelines through net class specifications. Additionally, for enhanced oversight of your project, you can examine the generated Gerber files using the ZenitPCB GerberView tool, ensuring that every detail meets your expectations. This comprehensive approach makes ZenitPCB Layout a valuable asset for anyone involved in PCB design.
