Tanner Photonics).
Antenna Designs Using HyperLynx 3D (IE3D)
Layouts can be done using Tanner L-Edit for Analog circuits, Digital
circuits, Analog and Mixed signalling circuits.
Physical Verification Using Calibre nmDRC tools.
Eldo Platform
The Eldo Platform delivers a proven set of capabilities targeted at analog-
centric ICs in BCD and other analog technologies.
Analog FastSPICE (AFS) Platform
The Analog FastSPICE Platform™ (AFS™) provides the world's fastest,
most accurate, highest capacity simulation for nanometer-scale circuits-
including high-performance mixed-signal SoCs.
Calibre
Calibre nmDRC™ has reduced average DRC runtime by a factor of five,
while Calibre's innovative Hyperscaling and MTFlex™ technologies have
cut memory requirements in half.
Calibre nmDRC also reduced overall cycle time with incremental DRC,
which allows designers to make DRC runs in parallel. As DRC violations
are reported, designers can immediately fix and recheck just the affected
areas, while the initial DRC run continues.
Calibre nmLVS provides actual device geometry measurement,
programmable electrical rule checking, and sophisticated interactive
debugging capabilities to ensure accurate circuit verification and further
improve the designer's productivity
Calibre 3DSTACK
Calibre 3DSTACK extends Calibre die-level signoff verification to enable
complete signoff verification of a wide variety of 2.5D and 3D stacked die
assemblies. With Calibre 3DSTACK, designers can perform signoff DRC and LVS
checking of complete multi-die systems at any process node without breaking
current tool flows or requiring new data formats, significantly reducing time to
tapeout. Because 3DSTACK is enabled using standard Calibre DRC, Calibre LVS
and Calibre DESIGNrev license features, no new licenses or tools are required.

Tanner Layout Editor (L-Edit)
L-Edit Photonics supports a layout-centric design flow where a schematic is
not necessary. The benefit of this approach is that the layout is the “golden"
design database. Designers that want to work with a schematic can use S-
Edit.
The tool generates a netlist to use as input into a photonics simulator.
L-Edit Photonics partners with simulation vendors. Our partners include
Luceda, Lumerical, Optiwave, and VPIphotonics™.
Photonic PDKs are available from multiple foundries that support both
Tanner L-Edit Photonics and LightSuite Photonic Compiler. The tool
supports iPDK and Mentor-formatted PDKs.
L-Edit Photonics is available on both Linux® and Windows®.
Tanner T-SPICE
