Company Highlights
Legend Design Technology, Inc. was founded in October 1996.
The company's core belief is that through innovation and dedication,
we continually develop and provide leading edge solutions
for semiconductor IP characterization/verification, and IC & PCB circuit simulation.
Our EDA tools maximize engineering productivity with ease of use, enabling design
teams to meet critical time-to-market targets - accurately and economically.
Legend is headquartered at Santa Clara, California
with distributors in Japan, China, Korea, South East Asia and Israel.
To forge strong ties with semiconductor foundries across the
world, Legend has formed R&D and support teams in Taiwan.
