Sales of software for printed circuit board and multichip module design rose to a record $450 million in the third quarter ended in October, extending a growth streak that has seen only three down quarters in the past nine years, the ESD Alliance announced today.
Our guest Wally Rhines offers the latest data and analysis of the electronic design market, which saw strength in the Americas and Europe offsetting dips in Asia and Japan. He also offers comments on how the latest merger announcements (Synopsys-Ansys, Renesas-Altium, Siemens-Altair) might impact the data trends. And he discusses how funds from the Chips Act may (or may not) show up in future EDA sales.
