The Trump administration has directed U.S. electronic design automation (EDA) software companies, like Cadence, Synopsys, and Siemens EDA, to cease sales of semiconductor design software to Chinese entities. This decision, communicated through letters from the U.S. Commerce Department, comes as the U.S. is reviewing strategic exports to China. While affected companies experienced stock declines, Synopsys reported that they had not received any notification from the Commerce Department, and their revenue outlook remains unchanged. The situation reflects ongoing tensions regarding technology and trade with China.
"The U.S. Commerce Department is reviewing exports of strategic significance to China, which may lead to additional license requirements or suspension of existing export licenses."
"Synopsys CEO Sassine Ghazi noted that despite the reports, the company has not received any communication from the Commerce Department suggesting changes to its export activities."
