Custom IC Design
Explore the Possibilities
Mentor’s new Pyxis Custom IC Design Platform includes integrated solutions for design capture, floorplanning, custom routing, polygon editing, physical layout, schematic-driven layout, concurrent editing and chip assembly. To help companies jump-start their design cycles and cut time-to-market, Mentor Graphics and its foundry partners have developed design kits.
These kits include all the foundry-specific devices and models for use with Pyxis Custom IC Design solutions. The platform supports all common commercial design kit formats plus numerous customer proprietary formats. Mentor supports OpenPDK, iPDK and other industry standards.
The solutions in this platform are easily configured and offer an affordable option for design engineers.
Custom IC Flow
Mentor Graphic’s Custom IC flow and its integrated schematic, extraction and simulation tools allow you to take a design from system specifications to post-layout verification with a virtually seamless approach.

“Moving from a well entrenched design and verification environment to something new is an enormous task even when you’re not faced with an impending tapeout. Mentor put a great deal of time into anticipating possible problems, and working to dismiss them before they could manifest themselves. This attention to detail was critical to the ultimate success of the replacement process.”
