Pyxis Technology, Inc. delivers next generation integrated circuit (IC) routing software for both full-custom and semi-custom IC designs.

NexusRoute-SoC  for System-on-Chip Semi-custom Design
Unlike existing router tool architectures that are struggling to keep up with complex sub-45nm silicon process design rules, and whose algorithms are primarily focused on multiple iterative repair steps, Pyxis NexusRoute-SoC uses a new patent-pending architecture and an industry integrated one-pass flow to perform correct-by-construction optimization of IC performance, power and yield during the routing process. Customers have seen as much as a 4X improvement in design closure cycle time with faster design performance, lower power and higher predicted yield.

NexusRoute-HPC  for Full-custom Hierarchical Design
Most full-custom design interconnect remains a manual process. Design blocks take weeks to route, limiting the number of design iterations that can be made before tape-out. Today’s existing custom-design routers lack automation and struggle with advanced design rules and deep design hierarchies. NexusRoute-HPC is fully advanced design rule capable and is architected to automatically comprehend deep design hierarchies without the need for the tedious creation of cell-level abstracts. Additionally, NexusRoute-HPC and its extraction and timing engines are integrated into industry leading full-custom chip editing environments. This integration ensures a seamless interaction between the editor and the router with no need to export and import data between systems to route and analyze your full-custom design blocks.
