I think I might have used Tanner software for a university project. Whats different about them today?
A. Tanner EDA software has come a long way since our first programs were sold in 1988. Tanner software initially ran under DOS, were limited to 16 layers and orthogonal geometry, had CIF output only and no schematic front end, simulation, or verification backend tools. Today, Tanner EDA offers designers a complete integrated solution to get from initial concept to silicon including schematic entry, Spice simulation, schematic driven layout, programmable cells, all angle geometry, interactive DRC, hierarchical Calibre-compatible DRC, extraction, LVS, standard-cell place-and-route, and a host of productivity features. If you haven’t used our tools recently, about the only thing you will recognize in our latest suite is how quick to learn and easy to use they still are, even with a tremendous amount of new functionality. See our product section for more information about Tanner EDA solutions.
