What's New in the PIC Design Suite Version 2021.03
Synopsys is driving the advancement of photonic integrated
circuit technologies with its PIC Design Suite, which includes the
OptSim Circuit and OptoDesigner tools.
OptSim CircuitNew features include:
• Support for thermal dependence in waveguide model file mode
ofoperation
• New application note on the use of Linear Time Invariant
(LTI)simulations in OptSim Circuit solution for photonic circuits.
LTI canprovide up to a 130x simulation speed improvement for
applicationcircuits
• New application note for silicon photonics market: Ring
Resonator:Thermal Tuning
• New application note for the photonic IC sensor/filter market:
Fabry-Perot Cavity Filter
OptoDesignerOptoDesigner now provides enhanced support for
thermal dependence in waveguide models' file-mode of operation.
Linear Time Invariant (LTI) simulations in OptSim Circuit can
provide up to a 130x simulation speed improvement for applications
in photonic integrated circuits.Other new features include:
• Electrical-photonic co-simulation, integrated into the
OptoCompilersimulation and analysis environment (SAE)
• Mixed-signal electro-optical netlist
• SAE scalar measurements
• Hierarchy in layouts with schematic back annotation
• Updated layout MaskTechnology framework to allow for
hierarchicalprocessing
• Updated boolean engine to support hierarchical mask export
• Python evaluator for back-annotated hierarchical layouts
