EDA Congestion Explained: What It Is and How It Impacts Your Designs

EDA, or Electronic Design Automation, is a field of electrical engineering dealing with the design of electronic systems. Congestion in EDA refers to a situation where there's too much traffic or too many signals on a particular routing channel, making it difficult for the system to function properly. Congestion can lead to delays, errors, and other problems that can affect the performance of the electronic system. EDA tools are used to analyze and mitigate congestion in order to optimize the design and functionality of electronic systems.
