SAN JOSE — Second quarter revenue from electronic design
automation was $1.09 billion,
down $3 million a year ago. Product (non-service) revenue was
$1.03 billion, up from $1.02 billion, boosted by PCB and IC tool
demand, which offset drops in computer-aided engineering, said the EDA Consortium.
"The EDA industry continues to realign, as strength in printed circuit board, IC physical design and verification, offsets weakness in traditional markets like computer-aided engineering," said EDAC chairman Wally Rhines. "Japan continued its strong growth momentum, up 15% over the second quarter of 2004."
EDA's largest tool category, computer-aided engineering, recorded sales of $445 million in Q2, down 6% year-over-year. PCB and MCM revenue increased 3% to $86 million. IC physical design and verification was up 2% to $289 million. Semiconductor Intellectual Property revenue was up 13% to $208 million
North America purchased $528 million of EDA products and services in Q2, flat compared to last year. Western Europe revenue was essentially flat at $189 million. Japan reported revenue growth of 15% to $242 million. Rest-of-world rose 5% to $132 million.

Beginning October 2, Circuits Assembly is seeking participants for its 14th annual Service Excellence Awards (SEAs) for Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers and Electronics Assembly Equipment, Material and Software suppliers.
“We are proud of the decade-long recognition we’ve received from Circuits Assembly magazine and its Service Excellence Awards program,” said Karen Vincent, Director of Sales & Program Management, at previous winner MassTech EMS. “The awards both validate and raise awareness of our commitment to delivering outstanding services in engineering and creative supply chain solutions that help customers reach their larger business goals. What means most to us is that the awards reflect our clients’ perspective on our services. We look forward to participating in this program year after year.”
Customers are surveyed to determine a participating company's level of customer satisfaction in various categories, including: dependability/timely delivery; ease of use; manufacturing quality; responsiveness to requests and changes; technology; and value for the price. All customer responses and ratings are tabulated by a third party and provided in a confidential report to the participating company.
This year, Circuits Assembly will recognize three categories of EMS providers based on revenues (under $100 million; $100 million to $500 million; $500 million and over) and the following categories of suppliers: dispensing; pick-and-place; repair and rework; screen printing; test and inspection; materials (solder paste); and manufacturing or supply chain management software.
Circuits Assembly will honor winners during Apex 2006 in Anaheim, CA. Proceeds from the program help fund the SMTA's Charles Hutchins Educational Grant.
