Projected Installed Base of Verilog HDL Users*
Thousands of Users
Verilog HDL's inertia
sustains its momentum.
Market perception of Verilog HDL as a de facto
standard grows stronger as more third-party EDA
suppliers support tlie language.
'Datapoints for a given year reflect the cumulative installed base of users at the end of that calendar year
(by the end of 1992, there will be approximately 4,500 engineers using Verilog HDL for top-down design).
