The promise of OpenAccess

Five years ago, forward-looking leaders at Cadence opened up their next-generation data model to the entire EDA community. Now managed by the Silicon Integration Initiative (www.si2.org), the OpenAccess EDA database provides a robust solution to complex design flow integration problems. Ciranova™, like other companies that belong to the OpenAccess Coalition, has released OpenAccess-based products. Many more products will be released during 2006 & 2007. Ciranova products offer native in-memory support for OpenAccess, allowing tight integration into current and future design flows.

XAMS

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.
