OptiSpice - The only SPICE software for Opto-Electronics

OVERVIEW

OptiSPICE is the first circuit design software for analysis of integrated circuits including interactions of optical and electronic components. It allows for the design and simulation of opto-electronic circuits at the transistor level, from laser drivers to transimpedance amplifiers, optical interconnects and electronic equalizers. With the imminent coexistence of electrical and optical components at the chip and board level, it is important to provide designers with a reliable simulation framework that can accurately and efficiently predict signal behaviour in opto-electronic integrated circuits and boards. OptiSPICE produces self-consistent solutions of opto-electronic circuits that contain feedback spanning both optical and electrical parts. OptiSPICE is a fully-integrated solution for parameter extraction, schematic capture, circuit simulation and waveform analysis.

SPECIFIC BENEFITS

Significantly reduce product development costs and boost productivity through OptiSPICE comprehensive design environment to simulate optical and electrical circuits in one simulation engine.

• Run state-of-the-art transient time domain, small-signal frequency, and noise analysis to accurately predict behaviour of advanced opto-electronic circuits.
• OptiSPICE Schematics offers direct schematic entry in an intuitive graphical user interface. It allows for greater ease of schematic capture, parameter specification, waveform probing and usage.
• Waveform analysis using OptiSystem for complex post-processing functionality. Advanced visualization tools produce OSA Spectra, signal chirp, eye diagrams, polarization state, constellation diagrams and much more.
• Includes parameter extraction tools for OptiSPICE model creation. From measurement data, parameter extractors are used to find the best set of OptiSPICE model parameters to fit the measurement.
