Tools and Technology
The SHRDC eDACard is offered to all companies who fulfill the terms under that of local indigenous electronics firm or SMI in the area of PCB design or IC design. The eDACard allows companies to utilize the software at a discounted rate of 50%, as funded by the government. This flexibility will allow the company to develop PCB design or IC design work without purchasing the software or making huge investments in EDA tools. The eDAcard is offered at flexible-terms licenses ranging from 1 week to 6 months to meet your company's project requirements. This system allows you to create and adopt new technologies at minimal risk and cost. Customers can choose to use the software at SHRDC premises (Shah Alam, Selangor) or in their own offices as long as the relevant hostid or MAC address is provided. Technical support is 24 hours direct from eDAcard's technical support office.
The flow of the eDAcard use is illustrated:
An example to illustrate the process:
A customer wishes to use the PS3000 Allegro PCB Design HDL 210 for three weeks. A quotation will be issued by SHRDC, customer will sign an agreement and issue a P.O. Purchase Order together with the license request form. SHRDC then bills the customer approximately 30% - 50% of the total cost depending on the amount. Example, for three weeks usage RM 1,200 of PS3000, an invoice of RM 600 will be sent. SHRDC will apply and configure the license and they are sent on the start date to the customer's email address. At the same time, the customer will install the necessary software at their premises if this location is off-site (other than SHRDC, Selangor). At the end date of the license, the remaining payment for the total costs will be invoiced to the customer.
We have currently several new and emerging SMI companies who had used this system for the purpose of creating a PCB design project using Allegro, evaluating the tool software capability Allegro S.I. (Signal Integrity), IC design verification using backend tools Assura for parastic extraction and etc. Through these short-term licenses and flexible time, it helps relief companies the huge amount for EDA investment at the initial stages of its founding years.
List of eDAcard software license available, pricing range from RM 400 - several thousands for one week (7 days) and this pricing is dependent on the Product No and quantity required.
