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.

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. Venkat

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.

IC Designs sells a PC-based standard cell design system called IC Works. It is intended to be usable by people without VLSI design experience. They will also arrange for fabrication and will guarantee correct operation of the fabricated parts. The base price of the software is around $10K.

Another layout tool for PCs is LEDIT from Tanner Research in Pasadena, CA. They have full layout and DRC (I think they have released the DRC now). Tanner Research : (818) 795-1696 Disclaimer: I worked for Tanner 3 years ago. -- Glenn Gribble glenn@synaptics.com uunet!synaptx!glenn
