FanoutPorts

class picazzo3.container.fanout_ports.FanoutPorts(*args, **kwargs)

Fanout Container. Routes all ports listed in port_labels into a given direction, with a given spacing. This is typically used to redirect a set of ports on a component to a regularly spaced array of ports. The user can use this to convert from one input/output waveguide pitch to another, or from irregular input/output waveguide positioning to a regular pitch.

If port_labels is not specified, all ports will be routed.

By default, the default waveguide template specified in the technology, TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT, will be used. This can be overridden by setting trace_template=None, in which case the trace templates of the ports of the contents will be used.

Parameters

trace_template: ( PCell and _WaveguideTemplate ), *None allowed*

Template for all ports, defaults to TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT.When set to None, the waveguide templates of the ports will be used.

auto_transition: ( bool, bool_, bool or int )

If True, automatically transition all ports of contents to the given trace template. If False, no transitions are applied, which might lead to a discontinuity in the waveguide. Also, if trace_template is None, no transitions are applied.

port_labels: ( List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’> ), *None allowed*

Labels of the ports to be processed. Set to None to process all ports.

contents: PCell

the contents of the container: the child cell

external_port_names: str

Dictionary for remapping of the port names of the contents to the external ports

name: String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters

The unique name of the pcell

Other Parameters

trace_templates: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘ipkiss3.pcell.cell.pcell.PCell’>, locked

list of templates to apply to all ports

waveguides: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘ipkiss3.pcell.cell.pcell.PCell’>, locked

bundle: ( PCell ), locked, *None allowed*

bundle of waveguides added to the contents, generated based on the supplied waveguides list
