Abstract :
The large variety of CAD/CAE tools/systems and foundry services now available to the electronic engineer have brought to a head the long-standing need for a standard format for the exchange of design information. Existing formats have not served this need for a variety of reasons. This paper describes an Electronic Design Interchange Format (EDIF) that has arisen from collaboration of the principals involved in four preceding efforts.
