A comprehensive list of electronic design automation (EDA) Companies can be compiled from lists of vendors-exhibitors of DAC (Design Automation Conference) held yearly for more than 30 years. EDA Companies that no longer exist (merged or died) are now listed in a separate category at the end of this page.
