OpenAccess 2.2 further enables seamless data exchange during the chip development process by tightly integrating industry design tools.

OpenAccess is an industry-standard electronic design automation (EDA) design database specification and reference implementation published by the Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) and supported by a wide range of leading EDA industry tools.

The new improvements in version 2.2 extend the OpenAccess data model support further into digital design as well as manufacturing, resulting in a more sophisticated framework.

With today's complex, worldwide development workflows, OpenAccess provides users with a necessary interoperable platform for exchanging design information.

MatrixOne's support of OpenAccess 2.2 will provide greater compatibility with chip design solutions that run on the OpenAccess 2.2 database, such as Cadence's Encounter digital Integrated Circuit (IC) design and the Virtuoso custom design platforms.

"By supporting OpenAccess 2.2, MatrixOne is providing its customers with standards-based products that enable design chain collaboration", said Jan Willis, Senior Vice President of Industry Alliances at Cadence.

"Managing OpenAccess data produced by Cadence's digital IC and custom design platforms with Synchronicity Developer Suite allows users to benefit from two complimentary solutions".

The Synchronicity Developer Suite couples the ProjectSync solution, which raises design predictability with multi-site project and issue tracking and communications, with DesignSync, which improves productivity by making design data available to the entire project team in a safe and managed manner, no matter where they are located.

"The chip design process is increasingly complex, and OpenAccess is playing a critical role in centralising solutions that solve today's most important development problems", said John Fleming, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Electronics Business Unit, MatrixOne.

"This announcement further shows that MatrixOne is committed to supporting all of the possible standards, operating systems and IT environments that our customers can leverage".
