Advanced Routing Automation
Solves Today's Layout Challenges

About Pyxis

Pyxis Technology was founded in March of 2004 with a mission to provide advanced routing automation solutions to the critical problems of high performance IC design. The founders of Pyxis brought extensive experience in advanced chip design and expertise in the development of algorithmically complex software honed from years creating solutions for industry leaders such as IBM, Sun Microsystems and Motorola.

Subsequently, Pyxis used this experience to develop and release state-of-the-art advanced routing engines specifically designed to handle the complexities and capacity of nanoscale IC designs. The NexusRoute family of automatic routers provides a commercially available solution to increase IC design capacity, performance, yield and time-to-market. The Pyxis solutions have been proven to reduce routing time on the largest IC designs by an order of magnitude, and by improving design quality on complex processes, have demonstrated 10% or greater design yields.

  • reduce routing time by 50%
  • improve IC yield by 10%

Pyxis Technology solutions are built on the OpenAccess (OA) database to deliver flows that are seamlessly interoperable with other physical design tools. Working in concert with existing IC layout tools, Pyxis delivers best-in-class physical design solutions. Pyxis Technology enables assisted custom design automation with integrated analysis for a true "what-if" exploration of custom analog and digital design, and fast, high-capacity automated routing to complete the SoC layout.
