EMA Releases Five Apps for OrCAD Capture Marketplace Launch

By DE Editors

EMA Design Automation has announced the release of five PCB design productivity applications (apps) to be available inside the Cadence Design Systems OrCAD Capture Marketplace. The marketplace includes a store where OrCAD users worldwide can download free and paid apps to add functionality and customize their OrCAD products.

EMA has several products that work in conjunction with, or in support of, the OrCAD flow, and some of the apps have been derived from this body of code. The new CircuitFit app is derived from EMA’s CircuitSpace product and allows the design engineer to perform early fit analysis at the schematic level prior to committing the design to placement and layout.

The new app, CIP in CIS, allows OrCAD users to access EMA’s Component Information Portal (CIP) software inside OrCAD Capture CIS. This free app allows the designer to stay inside the schematic environment for all component sourcing requirements.

Three other apps all came directly from customized code written to satisfy specific customer needs. Now with OrCAD Capture Marketplace, these apps are available to all OrCAD users. Test Point Annotator will sync up test points between the OrCAD PCB and the schematic. Status Display will provide visual indicators of properties adding another level of error checking or general information. Find in Design will search for common values across multiple schematics and projects.
