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.
