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

ModelSim effectively simulates behavioral, RTL, and gate-level code, enhancing both design quality and debugging productivity through its platform-independent compilation. Its unique single kernel simulator technology allows for the seamless integration of VHDL and Verilog within a single design framework. This HDL simulator offers an unparalleled range of verification features at a competitive price, making it particularly suitable for the verification of small to medium-sized FPGA designs, especially those that are complex and mission-critical. ModelSim’s sophisticated code coverage tools yield essential metrics that aid in systematic verification processes. Additionally, its user-friendly design minimizes the obstacles to utilizing verification resources efficiently. All coverage data is securely stored in the highly efficient UCDB database, providing flexibility in how results can be accessed. Coverage outcomes can be analyzed interactively, either during or after simulation, including after merging results from multiple simulation sessions. This unified and easy-to-navigate environment equips FPGA designers with the necessary advanced tools for effective debugging and refinement of their projects.
