MONROVIA, California – February 1, 2013 – Tanner EDA, the catalyst for innovation for the design, layout and verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), has been delivering complete hierarchical physical layout editing to MEMS designers for 24 years. L-Edit MEMS combines fast rendering and easy-to-use features for built-in productivity, allowing maximum efficiency in layout design.

From now until March 29^th, Tanner EDA is offering a free upgrade from L-Edit MEMS to an L-Edit MEMS Design package that further boosts productivity and reduces time to market by adding design rule checking (DRC) to L-Edit MEMS. By applying DRC at layout, design errors are caught before manufacturing, and design teams:

• Save on external foundry costs -- reducing the risk of foundry re-spins.
• Save on internal labor costs -- keeping the wheels in motion and focusing resources on revenue-generating projects rather than error fixes design re-works.
• Speed time to market -- avoiding production rescheduling and reworks, thus ensuring maximum ROI for each design.

Tanner MEMS design tools run on both the Windows and Linux platforms and offer powerful features and capabilities that enable an efficient and productive workflow.

A webinar on L-Edit MEMS Design is available at: http://www.tannereda.com/mems
