PyCell Developer Kit
Ciranova's™ PyCell™ Developer Kit provides infrastructure necessary for building libraries of parameterized cells using PyCell Studio. The kit provides a set of sample PyCell Python programs, which can be used as templates for developing other PyCell designs. Also, Makefiles and scripts are provided to compile PyCells designs into libraries, run regressions tests, and perform DRC checking (with either Calibre® or the built-in Ciranova design rule checking program).
The PyCell Developer Kit allows designers to develop PyCells and run performance, regression, and physical verification tests, all within a single unified Python environment. The kit helps automate much of the tedious work involved in creating and verifying standard PCell libraries.
The PyCell Developer Kit provides powerful automation capabilities:
- Template Python source code for different PyCells
- Makefiles for compiling cells into libraries, running tests
- Scripts for running DRC physical verification
- Automated Python test-suite development
- Automated Python physical-verification testing
