Schematic

Schematic#

A schematic is a graph representation of your circuit.

For complex circuits, a schematic allows you to create symbols and hierarchy levels to represent your circuit.

Having a schematic allows you to also ensure that your layout matches you schematic (design intent).

There are many schematic capture tools out there:

  • Qucs-s: for RF.

  • Xschem: for analog circuits.

  • Lumerical interconnect: for photonic circuits.

These tools allow you to both create schematics with your mouse or by code.

gdsfactory also allows you to create complex Schematics directly from python with a very simple interface.

import gdsfactory as gf
import gdsfactory.typings as gt

Lets create a MZI lattice of 3 elements.

s = gt.Schematic()
s.add_instance("mzi1", gt.Instance(component=gf.c.mzi(delta_length=10)))
s.add_instance("mzi2", gt.Instance(component=gf.c.mzi(delta_length=100)))
s.add_instance("mzi3", gt.Instance(component=gf.c.mzi(delta_length=200)))
s.add_placement("mzi1", gt.Placement(x=000))
s.add_placement("mzi2", gt.Placement(x=100, y=100))
s.add_placement("mzi3", gt.Placement(x=200))
s.add_net(gt.Net(ip1="mzi1,o2", ip2="mzi2,o2"))
s.add_net(gt.Net(ip1="mzi2,o2", ip2="mzi3,o1"))
g = s.plot_netlist()

You can also create a splitter tree.

s = gt.Schematic()
s.add_instance("s11", gt.Instance(component=gf.c.mmi1x2()))
s.add_instance("s21", gt.Instance(component=gf.c.mmi1x2()))
s.add_instance("s22", gt.Instance(component=gf.c.mmi1x2()))
s.add_placement("s11", gt.Placement(x=000))
s.add_placement("s21", gt.Placement(x=100, y=+50))
s.add_placement("s22", gt.Placement(x=100, y=-50))
s.add_net(gt.Net(ip1="s11,o2", ip2="s21,o1"))
s.add_net(gt.Net(ip1="s11,o3", ip2="s22,o1"))
g = s.plot_netlist()

The nice thing is that you can abstract it to have as many levels as you need.
