LaunchpadWirebondCoupled

class LaunchpadWirebondCoupled(design: QDesign, name: str = None, options: Dict = None, make=True, component_template: Dict = None)

Launch pad to feed/read signals to/from the chip.

Inherits ‘QComponent’ class.

Creates a 50 ohm launch pad with a ground pocket cutout. Limited but expandable parameters to control the launchpad polygons. The (0,0) point is the center of the necking of the launch tip. The pin attaches directly to the built in lead length at its midpoint This launch has an inductive coupler section.

Pocket and pad:

Pocket and launch pad geometries are currently fixed. (0,0) point is the midpoint of the necking of the launch tip. Pocket is a negative shape that is cut out of the ground plane

Values (unless noted) are strings with units included, (e.g., ‘30um’)

Default Options:

• trace_width: ‘cpw_width’ – center trace width of the terminating transmission line

• trace_gap: ‘cpw_gap’ – gap of the transmission line

• coupler_length: ‘62.5um’ – distance between the necking and the end of the coupler external finger

• lead_length: ‘25um’ – length of the cpw line attached to the end of the launch pad

Create a new Metal component and adds it’s default_options to the design.

Parameters:

• design (QDesign) – The parent design.

• name (str) – Name of the component. Auto-named if possible.

• options (dict) – User options that will override the defaults. Defaults to None.

• make (bool) – True if the make function should be called at the end of the init. Options be used in the make function to create the geometry. Defaults to True.

• component_template (dict) – User can overwrite the template options for the component that will be stored in the design, in design.template, and used every time a new component is instantiated. Defaults to None.

Raises:

ValueError – User supplied design isn’t a QDesign

Note: Information copied from QDesign class.

self._design.overwrite_enabled (bool): When True - If the string name, used for component, already exists in the design, the existing component will be deleted from design, and new component will be generated with the same name and newly generated component_id, and then added to design.

When False - If the string name, used for component, already exists in the design, the existing component will be kept in the design, and current component will not be generated, nor will be added to the design. The variable design.self.status will still be NotBuilt, as opposed to Initialization Successful.

Either True or False - If string name, used for component, is NOT being used in the design, a component will be generated and added to design using the name.
