Essential Electronic Design Automation (EDA)

EDA Benefits

Nora:

Well, EDA helps a lot of people. It helps the system designer use the latest technology and explore different design approaches. EDA programs allow the designer to model the system's performance and estimate its power needs. It helps the ASIC logic designers put their logical design ideas into computer form. It also helps them handle the high complexity of integrated circuits. EDA helps the layout designer place and route millions of transistors on the IC. It helps check hundreds of physical and electrical design rules for all those transistors. EDA helps product companies achieve more complex chips with lower cost, and shorter time to market. It helps all of us, wherever we have electronic systems—like in cell phone and satellite ...
