(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) announces today a global license and support agreement with Motorola to supply software tools, training and technical support for the design of Motorola's next-generation communications PC boards, ICs and systems worldwide. Under the agreement, all Motorola designers worldwide will have broad access to Agilent's full line of EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. simulation tools. This agreement continues Agilent's role as Motorola's primary supplier of electronic design automation (EDA) tools for high-frequency communications design and analysis. Motorola will use the Agilent EEsof EDA line of communication design products to shorten design time and improve performance of its complex electronic systems. The agreement, driven by Motorola's need to support a worldwide design organization with common tools, includes use of Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS), Series IV, Microwave Design System (MDS MDS, n See temporomandibular pain-dysfunction syndrome. MDS 1 Maternal deprivation syndrome, see there 2 Myelodysplastic syndrome, see there ), IC-CAP IC-CAP Integrated Circuit Characterization and Analysis Program and High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS HFSS High Frequency Structure Simulator HFSS High Fat, Salt and Sugar (food content) HFSS High-Frequency Sounder System HFSS High Frequency Simulator System HFSS High Frequency Sensor Subsystem ). "Our company relies on global partners who can support our needs on a worldwide basis," said Dan Russel, director of engineering for Motorola. "Agilent EEsof has worked closely with us to understand our drive to reduce time-to-market in next-generation communication products. This agreement allows our engineers to have access to a common set of world-class communication design tools and services." "Agilent and Motorola have enjoyed a long-standing relationship that started over 10 years ago with the introduction of the Microwave Design System," said Jim McGillivary, general manager for Agilent EEsof EDA. "This agreement takes our relationship to the next level and allows us to work together to expand and refine the Advanced Design System to meet Motorola's communications design needs."
