The Phil Kaufman Award for Distinguished Contributions to EDA honors individuals for their impact on electronic design by their contributions to electronic design automation (EDA).
[1][2] It was established in 1994 by the EDA Consortium (now the Electronic System Design Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community).
The IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) became a co-sponsor of the award.
[3] To honor individuals who made a significant impact on EDA, but died before the award was established the Phil Kaufman Hall of Fame was created by the ESDA in 2020.
