Springsoft is the largest EDA company based in Asia, and the first to be publically traded. Springsoft pioneered the debug automation technology underlying the Novas product line, introducing the Debussy debug system in 1997. It diversified its technology offerings in 2001 with the Laker custom IC layout system, which incorporates the patented MagicCell technology and has evolved into a full design-driven layout platform.
