VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DesignCon 2020
When: January 28-30, 2020
Where: Santa Clara Convention Center, Silicon Valley, CA

Lumerical will present a hands-on tutorial at DesignCon titled, "Electronic/Photonic IC Design for 5G RF Applications," alongside industry collaborators, TowerJazz and Cadence. The tutorial is in conference track 3 titled, "Integrating Photonics & Wireless in Electrical Design."

In this tutorial, TowerJazz, Cadence and Lumerical introduce a PDK-based design flow enabling RF designs for 5G and WiGig. Experts from the three companies will demonstrate how close integration between schematic capture, electronic-photonic co-simulation, and layout tools, together with electronic/photonic PDKs delivers silicon-proven 5G designs. Attendees will learn about EPDA co-design and co-simulation as well as photonic-specific compact model libraries (CMLs). Attendees will get hands-on experience with the latest EPDA design tools and foundry PDK. The tutorial takes place Tuesday, January 28th at 1:30 p.m.

Lumerical CTO, James Pond will also present, "Silicon photonics design for the data center and 5G," in the Cadence Theater (booth #711) at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 29th.
