We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Schematic capture",
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 IC design software gains verification link from
Silicon Canvas, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Laker schematic capture and layout environment is now interoperable with the Synopsys Hercules PVS physical verification suite".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Design kit mixed-mode and logic sub-processes from
Mentor Graphics UK: "A packaged RF flow tutorial takes an RF circuit design from schematic capture through RF simulation, layout and post-layout simulation".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Magillem Design Services
concerning its Magillem 4.0
- take a look at IDE makes the most of IP-Xact standard
which says: "Tool suite combines a database management system for the IP-Xact standard and a complete design environment including debugging functions and the ability to run generators".
Take a look also at the news release from EDA Solutions, Multithreading accelerates analogue simulations,
as well as Analogue simulator handles larger volumes of data from EDA Solutions,
and Spice simulation and circuit analysis upgraded from National Instruments.
