Finistar Selects Agilent ADS Software for Telecom Products
Written by Philip Buonpastore
Thursday, 20 March 2008
SANTA CLARA, CA - Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced that Finisar
has selected Agilent’s Advanced Design System (ADS) software for the
development of optics products designed for the telecom market. The ADS
software platform includes the Signal Integrity Design Suite and the
Ptolemy system simulator.
Finisar manufactures fiber optic components and subsystems utilizing
company patented lasers to enable telecommunications equipment
manufacturers to provide claimed longer reach optical transmission, at
lower cost with better performance and less complexity.
“We are excited that Finisar has selected our ADS software platform for
the design of their high-performance telecom optics products,” said
Sanjeev Gupta of Agilent. The signal integrity design and simulation
capabilities within ADS…will be a huge help in getting our customers’
products to market more quickly.”
Agilent’s ADS EDA software platform incorporates new signal integrity
capabilities, including the addition of
serializer/deserializer(SERDES)/Verilog analog mixed-signal
co-simulation, and the company’s Ptolemy Simulator, which is based on a
hybrid of synchronous and timed synchronous dataflow technologies. It
reportedly simplifies the design and simulation of digital (DSP),
analog, and mixed-signal based RF systems and circuits.
“We… chose Agilent’s EDA software because of its impressive simulation
technology and flexible design environment,” said Kevin McCallion,
director of engineering at Finisar.

CSP/BallNest Socket Provides Consistant Test and Burn-In
Aries Electronics introduces the CSP/BallNest Hybrid Socket for test or burn-in of chip scale package, ball grid array, microBGA, land grid array and prototyping. It can be used on any device having a pitch of 0.30 mm or larger. Features include a lid that nests each ball termination into the socket for a reliable connection and a four-point crown providing scrub on solder oxides. It has a signal path of 0.0777 inches and provides minimal signal loss for higher bandwidth capability. Estimated contact life is 500,000 cycles, and the socket is available in custom materials, sizes, configurations and platings. www.arieselec.com
