Circuit reliability is a rapidly growing market for integrated circuit design, and Siemens' Calibre® PERC™ software offers new verification capabilities previously unattainable with traditional verification tools.

Insight EDA has pioneered the use of EDA automation to address design-specific circuit reliability, providing the industry with new and more efficient circuit reliability analysis use cases. The addition of Insight EDA technology to Siemens' Calibre PERC product portfolio is expected to provide chip designers with a comprehensive circuit reliability solution.

"The acquisition of Insight EDA accelerates our roadmap for circuit reliability verification and underscores Siemens' ongoing commitment to delivering best-in-class EDA solutions," said Michael Garcia-Buehler, vice president of product management, Calibre Design Solutions, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "Adding Insight EDA to Siemens' Calibre PERC product line further empowers design engineers to create design-specific reliability checks and analyses."

“Joining Siemens marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Insight EDA team and our technologies,” said CEO Jesse Newcomb. “Up until now, we have focused on meeting the needs of a select group of customers, but now, as part of Siemens EDA, we look forward to bringing our solutions to the global semiconductor ecosystem.”

Insight EDA was founded in 2008 and has since served a global customer base with custom analog/mixed-signal and digital design flows at the transistor level. The terms of the transaction, which closed on November 1, 2023, were not disclosed.
