Summary
Latitude Design Systems has updated their PIC Studio design software with an
(ADK) for the PHIX Characterization Package. This ADK helps designers of photonic integrated circuits comply with the design rules for this packaging solution.
Key Points
The PHIX Characterization Package offers a flexible prototyping platform for PICs, supporting various dimensions, materials, and bond pad configurations.
The new ADK within PIC Studio enables designers to automatically align with PHIX's assembly design rules, streamlining development.
PIC Studio by Latitude Design Systems is a software suite for the design and simulation of photonic integrated circuits (PICs).
The implementation of the PHIX ADK in PIC Studio allows designers to create PIC layouts while incorporating packaging rules and constraints specific to the PHIX Characterization Package from the outset.
PIC Studio's Comprehensive Design Tools
PIC Studio offers a complete solution for PIC design, simulation, and verification, including:
PhotoCAD: Supports component layout, optical matching, automatic winding, and integrates a Design Rule Check (DRC).
pSim and pSim Plus: Enable advanced optoelectronic simulations, including system-level integration and co-simulation with Matlab.
Advanced SDL: Allows seamless conversion between schematic and layout.
pMaxwell: Provides electromagnetic simulation using RCWA and FDTD algorithms.
pVerify: Ensures designs meet manufacturing rules with fast, reliable design rule checking (DRC).
Andrea Alippi, Product Manager at PHIX Photonics Assembly:
"Considering packaging at the design stage is essential for scalable photonic manufacturing. With our packaging rules now embedded in PIC Studio, designers are equipped with a tool that supports smoother development and production."
Terence Chen, Chief Technology Officer at Latitude Design Systems:
"This addition to PIC Studio reflects our goal to enhance the design process for photonic circuits, helping engineers bring solutions to market faster and more efficiently."
