Photonic and electronic co-simulation system design tools interfaced with open-source design software like GDSFactory and OpenROAD.

Project description

piel - Photonic and Integrated ELectronic tools

PyPI Version Build Status Documentation Status Updates

Microservices to codesign photonics, electronics, quantum, and more.

Target functionality

  • Co-simulation and optimisation between integrated photonic and electronic chip design.
  • System interconnection modelling in multiple environments.
  • Individual and interposer design integration.
  • Multi-domain electronics and photonics component models.
  • Quantum models of physical circuitry

piel aims to provide an integrated workflow to co-design photonics and electronics, classically and quantum. It does not aim to replace the individual functionality of each design tool, but rather provide a glue to easily connect them all together and extract the system performance.

Examples

Follow the many examples in the documentation.

Microservices Toolset

This package provides interconnection functions to easily co-design microelectronics through the functionality of the IIC-OSIC-TOOLS and photonics via GDSFactory.

Some existing microservice dependency integrations are:

  • cocotb - a coroutine based cosimulation library for writing VHDL and Verilog testbenches in Python.
  • GDSFactory - An open source platform for end to-end photonic chip design and validation
  • OpenLane v1 - an automated RTL to GDSII flow based on several components including OpenROAD, Yosys, Magic, Netgen and custom methodology scripts for design exploration and optimization
  • pyspice - Simulate electronic circuit using Python and the Ngspice / Xyce simulators
  • sax - S-parameter based frequency domain circuit simulations and optimizations using JAX.
  • qutip - QuTiP: Quantum Toolbox in Python

Environment Requirements

  • Please install the Linux Docker environment provided by IIC-OSIC-TOOLS.
