3 ChipEditor (non-MVN)

ChipEditor is a graphical application for viewing and assigning I/O and logic macros. This tool is particularly useful when you need maximum control over your design placement.

Note: ChipEditor supports only the SX, MX, 3200DX, ACT3, ACT2, and ACT1 families. If you are designing for other, newer families, use ChipPlanner. For more information see the MultiView Navigator User’s Guide.

  • View macro assignments made during layout
  • Assign, unassign, or move macros
  • Lock macro assignments
  • View net connections using a Ratsnest, Minimum Spanning Tree, or Route view
  • View architectural boundaries
  • View and edit silicon features
  • Select probes when used with Silicon Explorer
  • View assignment and routing of paths when used with Timer
