Exhibition Outline
Objectives:
The age of chips with millions of gates is at hand, and advanced development to upgrade device performance, reduce risks, costs and power consumption, and embed software is proceeding at an unprecedented pace around the world. Reflecting this trend, EDSFair assem- bles specialized information on advanced device technologies, such as EDA, ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), FPGA/PLDs (Field Programmable Gate Array/Programmable Logic Devices), IP re-usage, embedded software and design services. Also featured are the latest trends and targets for further development of electronics technologies.
What is JEITA?
The Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) was formed on November 1, 2000, through the merger of the Electronic Industries Association of Japan (EIAJ) and Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA). JEITA is a new industry organization in Japan with activities covering both the electronics and information technology (IT) fields.
JEITA is an association of 525 prominent Japanese electronics and IT-related companies. Each board undertakes various activities beyond individual corporate interests to contribute to the further enhancement of specific technological areas. The EDA Technical Committee, a subcommittee of the Semiconductor Board hosts the annual EDSFair as part of its activities to promote the dissemination of design solutions and technologies for electronic circuits and systems. In this way, it deliver information on the latest design solutions technologies emanating from Japan and overseas, and provides an opportunity for all industry-related people to exchange information.
