[sci.electronics] VLSI/MicroChip Design Tools

root@pubit.sublink.ORG (Superuser) (07/02/90)

This is a followup to an article asking for VLSI design tools running on PCs.
I know about two layout editors for the Macintosh:

UNCLE (UNiversal Circuit Layout Editor)
demo $20
education $500
industrial $2500
contact:
Krzysztof Kozminski
Relative Software, Inc.
11 Little Springs Lane
Durham, NC 27707
Phone: (919) 489-4521
helios!kk@cs.duke.edu

For more info about UNCLE see IEEE Circuits & Devices Magazine Nov. 89

MacGDS
This is a fairly good physical layout editor for the Macintosh. I don't have
the address of the company but, if anyone's interested, I can share a copy
of the demo version. Plese send me e-mail.

I missed the original posting; but I guess it was about PC based IC design tools.
There is a company called IC Designs in the Seattle, Washington area which
produces tools which run on the IBM PC.  I have used some of their tools in
the past with good success.

Although I don't have the company's full address, I can tell you that 
the product is sold by ``DESIGN WORKSHOP'' of Montreal Quebec (Canada).
The product's author, Francois Marquis, was at this year's DAC with 
some sales people from the US. MacGDS is definitely a supported product
and from all reports that I've heard, it is a good tool. I know that their
telephone number is (514) 696 4753 and that they are located in Dollard
Des Ormeaux. Hope that this information is of use.
