MCC: MegaCell Tool

MCC - MegaCell Compiler

For Large, Regular Structures

MegaCell Compiler (MCC) is an easy, powerful tool for building regular structures such as SRAMs, CAMs, DRAMs, Register files, FIFOs, ROMs, and PLAs.

MCC significantly reduces the effort required for building custom memories.

MAX-3D Path Finder Quickly and Automatically evaluate viability of 3D
Path Finder helps determine whether 3D TSV wafer stack is the best solution for your project. Use MAX-3D Path Finder to analyze partitioning, extract and simulate 3D nets, and generally explore the viability of an interposer or stacked-die implementation.More on Path Finder...

MAX-3D Layout The tool for true 3-Dimensional Layout
Load multilple chips/wafers and maintain distinct tech files for each layer. Full-featured editing for each tech file with real-time redisplay.More on MAX-3D ...

MAX-3D TSV Placer Automatic TSV Location, Optimization and Placement
MAX-3D TSV Placer scans your multi-level layout for optimal legal TSV placement. You can also adjust layout and insert blocking layers to modify placements if required. More on TSV Placer...

MAX-3D System The tool for chip/package/board co-design.
MAX-3D System enables you to view, edit and analyze multiple wafers/layers of one chip stack up thru the package and across the board to another chip stack. More on MAX-3D System...

Verilog & Circuit SimEasy, programmable UI integration with your Verilog/Circuit Sim tools.

DPC-SUE

to import designs from either 2D floorplanner or block-level verilog; specify chip level, block size, connectivity; and export floorplan to MAX-3D.

MAX-3D Path Finder

to explore viability of interposer or stacked-die implementations. Do multiple "what-if" studies on many different partitions.

MAX-3D

for true 3-dimensional layout, supporting multiple distinct technooogy files for Through-Si Via 3D wafer-stack and interposer designs.

MAX-3D TSV Placer

for automaticfally locating, optimizing and placing TSVs.

MAX-3D System

for the first time - your chips, package and PC board all together, in one tool. View, analyse & edit all of them in one environment. Isolate and extract nets; study signal integrity across all components.

 


Comments From Customers

“Tezzaron has taped out over 100 3D chips using MMI’s MAX-3D tool suite. There’s nothing to compare, and the new TSV placer & MAX-3D Path Finder are incredible.”

Robert Patti, VP/CTO, Tezzaron Semiconductor

“This is one of the few tools that can deal with multiple levels of hierarchy and multiple tech files all at the same time, and it is awesome for visualization of complex things like, say, PDN mesh across multiple die and interposers. Fantastic! I like it!”

Riko Radojcic, Director of Design for Silicon Initiatives, Qualcomm
