List of EDA companies

A comprehensive list of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) companies.
A partial and incomplete list can be compiled from lists of vendors-exhibitors of the DAC (Design Automation
Conference) and DATE (Design Automation and Test in Europe) conferences held specifically for EDA companies.
See also the list of items in the category Electronic Design Automation companies.
EDA Companies that no longer exist (merged or died) are listed in a separate category at the end of this page.
