Mentor Graphics Releases Pyxis Custom IC Design Platform and Delivers Advanced Functionality and Increased Productivity
25 7월 2011 - 10:00PM
Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that
the PyxisTM Custom IC Design Platform is available immediately,
delivering new functionality and increased productivity through
advances in concurrent design and automated custom IC routing
technology. The Pyxis Custom IC Design Platform is a step function
improvement to current custom IC design and verification tools by
addressing their most serious shortcomings.
Four key capabilities contribute to the advances in custom IC
design quality of results and productivity:
- Concurrent design: Allows multiple
designers, on the same local network, to work simultaneously on the
same database to accelerate final chip assembly and DRC
fixing.
- The Pyxis Custom Router: Automated
analog and mixed-signal routing at the transistor, cell, block and
chip levels that tackles hierarchical constraint propagation
throughout the design with both global routing for congestion
mitigation and detailed routing for rich net-by-net constraint
application, as well as tight integration with 2.5D interconnect
parasitic extraction for support of advanced process
technologies.
- The Calibre® RealTime interface:
Sign-off quality DRC using standard Calibre decks that allow
dynamic design rule checking during editing.
- Support of industry standards: The
Pyxis Custom IC Design Platform supports the interchange of design
data via OpenAccess.
“In our first experience with the Pyxis custom router, a section
of IP that would have normally taken a week to route was finished
in a few minutes and also saved one-third of the space in layout,”
said Heiner Stockmanns, director of engineering, Marvell. “With the
Pyxis custom router, we realized for the first time the huge
advantage of being able to iterate more, allowing us to deliver a
better design while saving time.”
“Our new Pyxis Custom IC Design Platform is delivering on our
vision of eliminating the most serious custom IC design and
verification pain points by innovating breakthrough solutions,”
said Robert Hum, vice president and general manager, Deep Submicron
Division, Mentor Graphics. “The Pyxis platform enables a team of
people to work concurrently in the same area of a design to
implement late-stage ECOs, and cuts weeks, and sometimes months,
off the custom routing phase while delivering an optimized route.
Our high-performance Calibre RealTime interface gives users
on-demand feedback for design rule violations - a step critical to
design speed and quality of results.”
About the Pyxis Custom Design Platform
The Pyxis Custom Design Platform provides the functionality
required to design today’s complex custom ICs. The platform is
tuned for analog/mixed-signal (AMS) and custom digital designs so
that extensive customization is not required. The platform is also
tightly integrated with industry leading tools: the Mentor family
of AMS simulators and AMS verification solutions, including the
Eldo® Classic, Eldo Premier and Questa® ADMS tools, and the Calibre
physical verification and DFM platform. The Pyxis Custom Design
Platform includes: design data management, design capture,
simulation control, results visualization, layout editor with
floorplanning, concurrent editing and a custom router. These tools
are easy to learn and use, and also provide advance functionality
for advanced users. Mentor is fully committed to support industry
standards as they apply to the custom design space. Today, the
support for these standards includes OpenAccess, iPDK, EDIF,
LEF/DEF, etc.
Availability
The Pyxis Custom IC Design Platform is available
immediately.
