tool and product innovations. Maybe the company
means that it will stop telling people it has acquired companies—at least

DFM start-up Praesegus Inc ( Campbell ,
CA ). In the acquisition, Cadence

modeling technology. My bet is that this acquisition is just the quiet
beginning of a DFM-start-up-acquisition binge in the EDA sector. We’ll
see.
