Any DFT/DFD strategy has to be based on a thorough\u0000understanding of the cost of test structure over the life of the\u0000automotive products.

{"title":"Present value analysis applied to EDA software alternatives","authors":"J. O’Connor","doi":"10.1109/ICEDTM.1994.496099","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICEDTM.1994.496099","url":null,"abstract":"Net present value analysis is commonly applied to decisions\u0000regarding investments made in physical assets. Decisions regarding\u0000investments in electronic design automation (EDA) software, however, are\u0000often made on technical merits and purchase price, not on the potential\u0000of the software tools to increase the value of the firm. For firms\u0000involved in designing integrated circuits and systems, this method for\u0000selecting EDA software ignores the potential impact on future cash flows\u0000as determined by the productivity of the EDA environment and the rewards\u0000for reaching markets earlier. This article, therefore, is addressed to\u0000those financial and engineering managers who want to consider the\u0000financial impact of EDA tool alternatives. This article describes an\u0000approach to determining the incremental cash flows for a firm which\u0000chooses to invest in high-level integrated circuit (IC) design software.\u0000In-depth technical knowledge of the particular software tools is not\u0000required to perform this analysis. The net present value of this stream\u0000of cash flows then becomes another data point in the purchase decision","PeriodicalId":319739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Workshop on the Economics of Design, Test and Manufacturing","volume":"424 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124222705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
