EDA comprises software tools used in the designing of electronic systems and components such as ICs and PCBs. The tools allow electrical (hardware) and computer (software) engineers to design, analyze, and simulate electronic components and systems. They are also used to derive methodologies and algorithms that aid in the designing of ultra-large-scale integration (ULSI) circuits. Segments such as CAE, semiconductor IP, IC physical design and verification, PCB and MCM, and services add up to drive the growth of the global EDA market.
