YAVNE, ISRAEL – Valor Computerized Systems has acquired the assets of PCB Matrix Corp., a provider of EDA library generation tools for both land pattern and schematic symbols. No financial terms were disclosed. PCB Matrix's software automates custom schematic symbol generation, and adds land pattern generation to Valor’s portfolio. In a press release, Valor vice president of Design Market Patrick McGoff said, “Extending the value of the ISO-certified content upstream into the design arena is a logical progression for us. We believe the industry will benefit from a streamlined library creation process that has the potential to incorporate manufacturing knowledge into the EDA libraries. This will ultimately lead to more manufacturable designs the first time through.”
