We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "EDA software",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Mobile WiMAX testing supports the new wave from
Agilent Technologies Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "Vector Signal Analyser, Signal Studio and Mobile WiMAX test set measurement solutions to facilitate testing of the WiMAX Forum's Wave 2 system profiles".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Grant to fast-track organic TFT design from
Cambridge Display Technology: "The UK Department of Trade and Industry has awarded a Fast Track grant to help fund development of EDA software for use in organic TFT-based electronic applications".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Softjin Technologies
- take a look at Blaze adopts customised EDA tools
which says: "Software component development and licensing business model proves crucial for bringing quality DFM software to market faster".
Take a look also at the news release from Flomerics, Thermal analysis software takes a 3D view,
as well as Potential changes to Interface A EDA standards from Cimetrix,
and Chip giant invests in open-source EDA developer from Silicon Navigator.
