In today’s analog design world, speed is more important than ever. To compete in a high-efficiency, high-productivity marketplace, you need a toolset that has proven its ability to accelerate the design cycles of commercially successful projects.

Tanner EDA’s L-Edit™ meets your needs by combining the fastest rendering available with powerful features that exceed the needs of the most demanding user. This leading analog/mixed signal IC design tool for the PC platform enables you to get started with minimal training. You can draw and edit quickly, with fewer keystrokes and mouse clicks than other layout tools. Using powerful features such as interactive DRC, object snapping, and alignment, you can work more efficiently to save time and money.

L-Edit increases your productivity by enabling you to import Cadence® Virtuoso® technology and display files for quick setup. Save time by using foundry-provided files directly, allowing you to avoid having to set up technology information manually. Once you’ve begun using L-Edit, the CAD support burden for your physical design tools will be reduced, enabling you to focus on other mission critical tasks.
