An All-Encompassing Optical Waveguide Design Environment
MODE allows engineers to precisely model waveguide and coupler performance. Integrating bidirectional Eigenmode expansion, varFDTD, and finite difference eigenmode solvers, MODE can easily facilitate both large planar structures and long propagation lengths, supplying accurate spatial field, modal frequency, and overlap analysis.

Putting High-Accuracy Waveguide Simulation at the Forefront
Clock FX (SoC Software) mines the dynamic voltage drop on the clock network produced by RedHawk-SC to calculate clock jitter with SPICE-level accuracy. In addition, the software also accounts for accurate multi-voltage analysis and simulates the delay impact of supply variation on the clock paths.
- Clock FX (SoC Software) handles transistor level effects such as voltage drop and ground bounce separately.
- This enables accurate timing at ultralow voltages where margins are razor thin and variability is severe.
- Clock FX (SoC Software) automatically identifies and simulates all the clock paths in the design using standard cell models or transistor-level SPICE models.
- Its full waveform propagation provides the accuracy needed to get reliable results at ultralow voltage and advanced processes.
- Clock FX (SoC Software) is tightly integrated with the Ansys sign-off power analysis tool RedHawk-SC to obtain the dynamic voltage drop for simulation.
- With the duo synchronized, the database generates a rich set of jitter reports covering various jitter types.
- Clock FX (SoC Software) is threaded and distributed, dramatically reducing turnaround time and memory requirements, compared to Monte Carlo SPICE.
- To study and compare the timing jitter (TJ) characteristics, our simulations deploy four core experimental schemes including hybrid mode-locking (HML), ML subject to opto-electrical feedback (OE FB), ML subject to all-optic feedback (AO FB), and ML subject to optical pulse train injection (OPTI).
- These simulation parameters (if selected) are used to emphasize the role of the timing interaction of the pulses of master and slave MLL and to distinguish from continuous-wave injection.
Clock FX (SoC Software) leverages the SPICE transistor models and full waveform propagation to provide the accuracy needed to get reliable results at ultra-low voltage for advanced processes. Miller-capacitance and other effects are handled correctly, with no shortcuts.
