About this tag
The eda software tag brings together coverage of electronic design tools used in semiconductor and engineering workflows. Recent articles examine Cadence ChipStack and its use of AI agents to accelerate chip-design tasks while keeping engineers responsible for review, sign-off, and design accountability. The tag also covers security risks in Labcenter Electronics Proteus, including high-severity memory-safety vulnerabilities that can expose information or enable arbitrary code execution when malicious content is opened. Together, these stories highlight practical concerns for engineering teams: productivity gains from supervised automation, secure handling of design files, timely software updates, and protecting engineering workstations connected to broader operational technology environments.
