PCell Xtreme: Persistent PCells for OpenAccess

PCell Xtreme (patent pending) from Ciranova™ enables OpenAccess tools from multiple vendors to utilize PCells written in proprietary languages like SKILL. PCell Xtreme creates a disk cache of the PCell layout in OpenAccess database format, which provides two major benefits:

  • A database with cached PCells opens 10 times faster or more
  • SKILL PCells can be opened and parameterized by OpenAccess tools from many vendors

PCell Xtreme enables you to smoothly migrate your PCell-based flow into a multi-vendor OpenAccess flow, fulfilling the promise of OpenAccess. Click here to learn how to achieve Xtreme Interoperability with PCell Xtreme.

XAMS
Analog/Mixed Signal
XPyros Layout Viewer
A component of Ciranova's PyCell Studio software. The Pyros Layout Viewer can open any OpenAccess block, select layout objects for examination, and manipulate PyCell parameters. Pyros also includes a built-in design rule checker that allows users to check the layout interactively.
