The new Version 4.0 release of PyCell Studio is now available for free
download from www.ciranova.com. It incorporates a long list of
enhancements requested by our users to help develop deep-submicron
OpenAccess PCells, including:
* Graphical Source Code Tracing: Users can select an object in Pyros
Layout Viewer,
and see the code which created it highlighted in the Ciranova
Python IDE.
* New Route Options: To help you create interconnect within PyCells
with multiple
devices or fingers, the new RoutePath class includes methods for
C-, L- and Z-shape
routes and other options.
* Component Arrays: New methods create repeated placements of shapes
in arrays.
Customers with a current Ciranova commercial support contract will also
receive these Premium Features to enhance productivity:
* Multiple Rule Sets: PyCell designers may now enable their users to
select from multiple
rule sets, including minimum and recommended DFM rules.
* DRC Rule Deck Import: PyCell Studio can synthesize construction
rules from existing DRC
rule decks to generate the Ciranova technology file.
* PCell Caching (Persistent PCells): OpenAccess PCells, including
PyCells and SKILL PCells,
can be cached so that they open 10X faster or more. PCell Caching
also enables tools from
multiple vendors to read and modify OpenAccess databases which
contain SKILL PCells.
Thanks.
