Hi everyone, I have been scouring the internet looking for viable low cost CAD tools. Currently I am using Cadence, but am looking for a new low cost tool to use for custom analog and I/O design.
Most of my experience has been with Cadence, Mentor and Tanner. I have also worked with several versions of freeware tools, such as LTSpice (which I like a lot) to name one, and a few layout tools to accompany it. However what I need is a proper tool suite for some future projects on advanced processes (<90nm) that would make analog design, simulation, layout and validation a little easier to use than piecing together freeware. I am leaning toward Tanner as my next tool of choice (cost mainly).
What I am looking for are any recommendations members of this forum may suggest as a tool choice to consider. I know of many tools out there but I have no personal experience with some of them. Maybe some of you know of a few off the wall tools that have served you well.
I am open to suggestions.
Thanks, Stephen
