MAX-LS Layout System - Mangum

The MAX-LS layout system is a Micro Magic toolthat incorporates our best tools for IC physicallayout design of leaf cells, large blocks, andcomplete SoC products, and adds schematic-driven layout.

This tool has all the capabilities of the standardMAX layout editor, plus it has a schematic viewerand layout generator.

What Is MAX-LS?

The MAX-LS layout system is ideal for full customIC layout designers who are working on thelargest, fastest, state-of-the-art digital or analogIC designs. It provides a complete environmentto receive information from design engineeringand to contain all technology information from aspecific foundry. The physical layout process goesfaster when using the MAX-LS layout system.

This tool provides all the capabilities necessaryfor layout designers to accomplish their mission.

It features true schematic-driven layout design,offering the ability to interactively generate alayout that is DRC- and LVS-correct with devicesautomatically sized.

Based on a schematic, the MAX-LS layout systemcan generate every transistor, show flylines forconnecting them, and cross-probe betweenschematic and layout. This gives the layoutdesigner complete control, yet assures rapidphysical design development.

Both the MAX layout editor and the MAX-LSlayout system tools have complete programminginterfaces using Tcl/Tk and a well-documentedAPI. Whether you need full-custom layout, cell-assembly, chip-assembly, or the ability to writeyour own generators, these are the tools tochoose for your physical design needs.
