Description

Synopsys OptSim stands out as a highly acclaimed simulator for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and fiber-optic systems, empowering engineers to effectively design and refine photonic circuits and associated systems. With its cutting-edge algorithms for both time and frequency domains, it provides a dedicated photonic environment that ensures precise simulation results. OptSim can operate independently, complete with its own graphical user interface, or be integrated within the OptoCompiler Photonic IC design platform for enhanced functionality. When combined with OptoCompiler, it allows for electro-optic co-simulation alongside Synopsys PrimeSim HSPICE and PrimeSim SPICE electrical circuit simulators, offering a seamless experience with the PrimeWave Design Environment that facilitates advanced simulations, analyses, and visualizations, including parametric scans and Monte Carlo methods. Additionally, the software is equipped with a comprehensive array of libraries containing photonic and electronic components, as well as various analysis tools, and is compatible with a wide range of foundry process design kits (PDKs), making it an invaluable resource for engineers in the field. Its versatility and depth of features make Synopsys OptSim a crucial tool for anyone involved in photonic design.

Description

This tool seamlessly merges precision and efficiency within a comprehensive design framework, achieving simulation speeds that are 10-50 times quicker than SPICE for power supply designs. It encompasses all functionalities of SIMetrix Classic while maintaining the same graphical user interface, which includes a hierarchical schematic editor and a waveform viewer. It quickly identifies the steady state operating point of a switching system, eliminating the need to simulate initial transient conditions. Furthermore, it facilitates the conversion of SPICE transistor and diode models into SIMPLIS format by executing a SPICE simulation for parameter extraction. The advanced digital simulation library boasts a diverse array of digital functions, including counters, ADCs, DACs, and much more, ensuring that designers have the tools they need at their fingertips. This integration of features makes it an invaluable asset for anyone involved in power supply design and simulation.
