The conference includes technical sessions, short courses, workshops, and panel discussions that focus on the newest research and developments as well as the latest applications.
Synopsys Demos
Synopsys will demo its photonic design and high-speed IP solutions at OFC 2022. Please join our experts at booth #3215 at the published time.
Photonic Device Compiler
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, March 8-10
10:30-11:00 a.m.
See how RSoft Photonic Device Tools, Sentaurus TCAD and Custom PDK Utility are seamlessly integrated to design and optimize photonic devices and to automatically create symbols, layout and models for OptoCompiler and OptSim.
Multi-Vendor 112G SerDes Interoperability Between Synopsys, Xilinx and Luxshare
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, March 8-10
11:00-11:30 a.m.
This OFC demo features Synopsys’ DesignWare 112G Ethernet IP long
performance using Xilinx’s 112G FPGA and Luxshare’s channel, showing minimum bit error rate. The demo showcases the Synopsys adaptative receiver and transmitter capabilities such as equalization of any given channel, interoperability with third-party SerDes, auto negotiation and link training.
Complete WDM Photonic IC design flow using the Synopsys PIC Platform for Tower PH18, including Juniper integrated lasers
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, March 8-10
11:30 a.m -12:00 p.m.
Synopsys will demonstrate a complete schematic driven design flow, including simulation, DRC and LVS for a WDM chip using the Tower PH18 silicon photonics process and integrated lasers from Juniper.
Simulating coherent optical fiber systems with OptSim
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, March 8-10
12:00-12:30 p.m.
This demo will show how OptSim provides photonic system modeling capabilities and real application scenarios using extensive industry specifications. Whether you are interested in maximizing performance, minimizing costs, reducing time to market, fast prototyping, or analyzing multiple "what-if" scenarios for optical communication systems, OptSim is your tool of choice.
Efficient modelling of silicon photonics devices with RSoft Photonic Device Tools
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, March 8-10
12:30-1:00 p.m.
The RSoft™ Photonic Device Tools provide the industry's widest selection of simulators and optimizers for passive and active photonic and optoelectronic devices, including lasers and VCSELs. These are integrated with Synopsys optical and semiconductor design tools for streamlined, multi-domain co-simulations.
DesignWare 112G SerDes IP Interoperating with Optical Components Across 2km Optical Channels
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, March 8-10
1:00-1:30 p.m.
This OFC demo features Synopsys’ DesignWare 112G Ethernet IP directly driving optical components (using Macom’s laser driver, LASER, photo detector, transimpedance amplifiers) across 2km optical fiber cables and Samtec’s NovaRay interconnect. The IP equalizes electrical-optical-electrical (E-O-E) channels and minimizes bit-error rate.
Implementation and Verification of Photonic ICs with OptoCompiler and IC Validator
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, March 8-10
1:30-2:00 p.m.
If you are interested in PIC design capture, layout implementation and physical verification with a modern easy to use interactive design cockpit you should attend this demo and learn all about exclusive photonic design productivity features, E/O co-design and photonic DRC & LVS.
E/O co-simulation of GlobalFoundries monolithic silicon photonics with OptSim and PrimeSim
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, March 8-10
2:00-2:30 p.m.
Unlike electrical signals, optical signals are complex, have multiple states of polarization, support multiple wavelengths and transverse modes, thereby posing serious challenges to traditional electronic design automation tools and practices. This demo shows how Synopsys electro-optical (E/O) co-design flow simulate the behavior of a mix of electrical and photonic components in GF's monolithic silicon photonics process.
Additional IP demos in partner booths:
- Samtec booth #2309: Synopsys’ 112G SerDes IP interoperating with Samtec’s QSFP-DD module and DAC, NovaRay I/O cable assembly
- Tektronix booth #3425: Synopsys’ 112G SerDes IP on N5 processes TX and RX with Tektronix
