EMA integrates online components database

EMA Design Automation has made available version 3.0 of the EMA Component Information Portal (CIP), which provides access to the Newark electronic parts database through Cadence OrCAD Capture CIS.

Newark is part of the global distributor Premier Farnell Group.

"Premier Farnell is pleased to work with EMA to establish an interface between our vast online product database and industry leading OrCAD Capture CIS, through EMA's Components Information Portal (CIP), and are excited to offer this new interface to Newark's design customers across the Americas," said David Shen, Group SVP and Global Head of eCommerce and Technical Marketing for Premier Farnell, in a statement.

Premier Farnell worked in close collaboration with EMA to create DesignLink, a CAD tool interface to Premier Farnell's database. This interface is implemented within CIP, a web-based interface to the engineering Component Information System (CIS) database .

Through CIP, engineers, librarians, purchasing agents, and others can access and manage the CIS database, including the ability to add or modify parts, without the need to use the native database software.
