Ciranova Helix is the only analog layout automation solution that can create DRC-correct, production-ready layout in minutes. Designers use a simple but powerful set of high-level constraints to input their circuit requirements. No other automated solution can deliver production-quality, DRC-correct layout so quickly and easily.

|
|
|
Ciranova Helix integrates with any OpenAccess flow to automate layout. It does not replace your existing layout editor or any other tools. |
|
|
|
Ciranova Helix can produce production-ready layout from your sized netlist. You "drive" Ciranova Helix using a point-and-click interface to enter constraints, just like the input you give a layout designer. Because the constraints are technology-independent, you can use the same netlist and constraints to implement your design on multiple process nodes. |
|
|
|
The constraints you enter into Ciranova Helix are process-independent—a transistor that you specify should be matched and mirrored at 90nm will need to be matched and mirrored at 65nm as well. Ciranova Helix reads process information from a separate technology file, producing DRC-correct layout that obeys your constraints on any process node. |

Ciranova Helix works with any OpenAccess PCells, including legacy SKILL® PCells. However, the more capable your PCells are, the better results Ciranova Helix can provide. If your PCells do not have the ability to parametrically create multiple rows and complex finger interdigitation patterns, you may want to consider upgrading to PyCells.

There are no hidden costs. You may write PyCells, deploy libraries, create IC databases, and build chips using the free software downloadable here.
Ciranova's business model for PyCell Studio is to sell premium support and premium features to PyCell Studio users, rather than licensing the software. Most companies who wish to utilize PyCells in a critical IC design project will want hot fixes, telephone and email access to Ciranova's support team and guaranteed response times for their support requests.
