Cellix has independently developed 5 sets of EDA software systems. These more than 30 softwares cover the entire flows of IC technology analysis, semiconductor intellectual property analysis and protection. The software listing is as follows:
(1) Filmshop, an image acquisition and processing software system.
(2) ChipLogic Family, a netlist extraction software system
(3) Hierux System, a circuit analysis and layout design software system.
(4) BoolSmart System, a digital circuit analysis software system.
(5) IPnumen Series, an intellectual property analysis software system.
With more than 1,000 software users worldwide and more than 30,000 software licenses has been released, Cellix has become the de-facto standard software for IC analysis and intellectual property analysis.
Filmshop is an image acquisition and processing software independently developed by Cellixsoft for integrated circuit technical analysis and patent analysis. It was released in 2003.Filmshop is primarily used within Cellixsoft and the software system is also licensed to some research institutes and universities/colloges at home and abroad.
Integrated with pattern recognition, software engineering and other advanced technology, Filmshop is an excellent combination of software technology and chip image processing requirements
Filmshop can efficiently complete the large-scale acquisition of optical and electron microscopic images, and complete the seamless stitching and accurate alignment.
Supporting microscope vendors: Carl Zeiss, FIE, Leica, Olympus and Hitachi.
ChipLogic Family (CLF) is an integrated circuit analysis and design tool independently developed by Cellix. CLF was released in 2002. It is mainly used for integrated circuit netlist extraction, layout design and ROM code extraction.
CLF supports the concurrent operation of multiple users, and is equipped with efficient automatic search algorithm and reliable network table checking method, which is very suitable for the analysis and redesign of ultra-large scale integrated circuit.
CLF can support the analysis of millions to hundreds of millions of transistor ultra-large scale integrated circuit projects, issue more than 20,000 software license files in total, and help global users to complete more than 40,000 integrated circuits analysis projects.
Output data format: Verilog, EDIF200, GDSII, etc.
Hierux System (Hierux) is an integrated circuit analysis and verification and back-end layout design software independently developed by Cellix. It was published in 2005 and contains software modules such as circuit composer, circuit arrangement and layout design.
In terms of overall design, whether in database structure or user interface, Hierux is very similar to Cadence, making it easy for engineers to use.
Hierux provides a full range of circuit arrangement and editing functions and also supports hierarchical layout design. Its output data format is compatible with mainstream circuit simulation and layout verification tools. Software modules in Hierux all use the same open database structure and provide a perfect interface, allowing engineers to conduct secondary development according to project needs (Python, TCL).
BoolSmart System (BoolSmart) is a powerful tool for digital integrated circuit protocol and algorithm analysis, which can be used for reference design and patent infringement analysis. It was released in 2016.
BoolSmart can efficiently guide engineers to quickly identify and dig out the core structure of the original design, such as bus, state machine, if statement, case statement and so on, from the large-scale digital circuit. Using machine learning, BoolSmart can also dig out higher-level digital circuit modules such as SHA, AES, RSA, and ECC.
BoolSmart uses automatic algorithm to analyze various logic expressions, constantly reduce variables, optimize expression forms, and finally generate a readable RTL code. After customers get the RTL code, they can conduct logical synthesis and APR again.
Application: ADC/DAC, MCU, DSP, FPGA, CPU, etc.
