摘要

If you are in the market for EDA products, be prepared for convoluted tool pricing. Many tool vendors base a product's price on a range of parameters, including platform, operating-system, and performance features, such as capacity and speed. The result is that investigating EDA-tool pricing bears a close resemblance to buying a seat on an airline without the help of a travel agent. Reviewing a few price-dependent variables can help you become a savvier EDA-tool buyer.
