Design Service and Support


NEC Electronics supports the most popular design tools from top vendors, such as Cadence®, Mentor Graphics®, Magma and Synopsys®. We also supply proprietary software tools (covered by the NRE cost) along with other resources, such as libraries, scripts and constraint files. Our proprietary toolset handles most design tasks and includes an EMI simulation tool that yields highly precise values much more quickly and easily than SPICE.
