Electronic Design Automation Electronic Design Automation (EDA) orchestrates the use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to complete the intricate design, synthesis, verification, and physical layout of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chips. Delving into its history, EDA transcended manual design methods, evolving into a verdant tapestry of technological advancements. Significant milestones include Carver Mead and Lynn Conway's reimagined approach using programming languages and the commercialization of Verilog and VHDL hardware description languages. Today, EDA certainly plays a crucial role in the labyrinth of semiconductor technology, particularly in the design of both digital and analog circuits.
