EdXact is a supplier of software used for the design and the verification of integrated circuits, electronic design automation software EDA. EdXact is headquartered in Grenoble, France.

History
EdXact was founded to address one of a major problems in circuit design and verification: the accrued number of layout parasitics, which slows down simulation tools to the point that they are unexploitable in certain cases. EdXact started to implement engineering solutions based on a vast number of publications in control theory, addressing exactly this linear type of problem.

2004, EdXact was incorporated.

2005, EdXact introduced the first products to the design community.

2005, EdXact raises seed funds among french VC's.

2007, EdXact arrives in Japan and Korea.

2010, EdXact is one of about a dozen companies to be integrated into TSMC's first reference flow for analog and mixed signal design at 28nm

Products
EdXact proposes tools that help reducing the burden of layout parasitics (see Parasitic_extraction) on simulation and analysis of circuit behaviour (see SPICE).


 * Jivaro is a netlist reduction tool based on Model Order Reduction. Two major versions exit:


 * Jivaro A - for spice-like netlists (formats supported: SPICE, SPECTRE)
 * Jivaro D - for dspf/spef-like netlists (formats supported: DSPF,SPEF)


 * Comanche is an analysis tool dedicated to layout parasitics. The tool allows to carry out electrical verifications on layout level much faster than with a spice tool.


 * Salsa are the tight links into Cadence Design System's Virtuoso and ADE design and simulation environments


 * Tumba is the tight integration of Comanche into SpringSoft's layout design environment LAKER.
