OpenAccess


OpenAccess adoption is gaining momentum within the industry. Many companies are deploying the technology within their design flows, or are rolling out their OpenAccess-supported applications.
OpenAccess is a community-driven initiative that provides an interoperability platform for complex IC design based on a common, open, and extensible architecture. This is achieved through
  • Open standard application programming interface (API)
  • Reference database implementation supporting that API

The initiative is driven by the OpenAccess Coalition, an organization comprised of world leaders in IC design. The OpenAccess Coalition operates under the governance and bylaws of Si2. Please visit www.si2.org/openaccess and www.openeda.si2.org for more information about OpenAccess.
