Finisar Selects Agilent Technologies' ADS for Product Development

Posted on: Thursday, 20 March 2008, 09:00 CDT

Finisar, a provider of fiber optic solutions for high-speed networks, has selected Agilent Technologies' Advanced Design System software to support the development of its optics products for the telecom market.

Agilent claims that the Advanced Design System (ADS) software platform includes the Signal Integrity Design suite and the Ptolemy system simulator. Recent releases of the software include new signal integrity capabilities, such as the addition of serializer/deserializer / Verilog analog mixed-signal co-simulation, for a more complete signal integrity design flow for serial links.

The company also claims that the Ptolemy Simulator is a system-level simulator based on a hybrid of synchronous and timed synchronous dataflow technologies. It claims to simplify the design and simulation of digital, analog, and mixed-signal based RF systems and circuits, including wireless and wireline receivers, transmitters, modems, cellular phones, and radar.

Sanjeev Gupta, product marketing manager for EEs of electronic design automation division at Agilent, said: "We are excited that Finisar has selected our ADS software platform for the design of their high-performance telecom optics products."
