𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 – 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁? 𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵. 💫 Here is a short tutorial showcasing schematic-driven design starting from #IPKISSCanvas. ✨ ✅ Build a circuit schematic in our GUI using IPKISS Canvas. ✅ Place and connect components from a library. ✅ Run circuit simulations to evaluate nominal behavior. ✅ Perform corner analysis to study the tolerance of the circuit against variations.  ✅ Generate code directly from the schematic, adding parameters. 🎥 Watch the tutorial now and start designing your own PICs today! You can also watch the video on our YouTube channel. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ejrP8taV #LucedaPhotonics #PICdesigntutorial #SchematicDrivenDesign #CWDMfilter

Today, the Luceda team came together for a happy occasion: to say “Happy birthday!” to our CEO, Erwin De Baetselier! 🎉 With the entire Luceda team, we gathered for a nice birthday party filled with surprises -and yes, plenty of cake- and we wanted to share these happy and fun moments with you too.😊 Erwin, who’s stepping gracefully (and musically!) into his “we won't say how many exactly 😉”, is more than just the CEO of Luceda Photonics. He contributes to photonics discussions around the world, composes tunes, plays music, likes to join carnivals, enjoys Belgian frituurs, and has a soft spot for pandas. 🐼 He brings his full, passionate self to everything he does and has been guiding our ship for 11 years with passion, vision, and, of course, humor. Thank you for the leadership, the music, the laughs, and the pandas! 🙌 #HappyBirthday, Erwin! 🎂 #LucedaPhotonics #birthdayparty #celebration #Lucedateam
