Hey John,
I'm not sure if you got a chance to take a look at the latest Dataquest
market share report that just came out for 2003. Here's what it says
for SI analysis:
Signal Integrity Analysis
"Synopsys jumped from No. 3 to a commanding No. 1 in 2003. The other
companies lost ground from the impact of Synopsys' new tools."
Dataquest FY 2003 Signal Integrity Analysis Market (in $ Millions)
Synopsys PrimeTime-SI ##################### $20.9 (46%)
Cadence CeltIC ################# $17.3 (38%)
Sequence #### $4.1 (9%)
Quantic EMC ### $3.2 (7%)
I guess all those users with positive comments about PrimeTime-SI in your
2004 SNUG Trip Report were on to something. ;-)
