HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accelerated Designs Inc. (ADI), a PCB Library Software and Services firm headquartered in Huntsville, AL, has completed a project to link their Ultra Librarian (UL) tool to the Premier Farnell DesignLink system. The DesignLink system is an electronic interface to the Premier Farnell electronics parts databases of Newark, Farnell, and Premier Electronics spanning Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific. The UL product is an EDA/CAD-Independent PCB Library tool that can quickly create Parts and then Export to virtually all EDA and CAD Systems including those from Altium, Cadence, Mentor and Zuken. It contains an extensive PCB Library (Schematic Symbols and PCB Footprints) of 1.5 million Parts that can be Exported to various PCB Design flows using a free downloadable UL Reader.
"We are excited to be able to provide our customers with data directly from Premier Farnell," stated Frank Frank, President of ADI. "Now they can have Premier Farnell Part data in their schematic symbols and PCB Footprints. This will allow the customer to Export a BOM with the proper part numbers to place an order. It will help our customers create more accurate EDA CAD libraries that are rich in descriptive content. We believe customers will save time in searching and creating the critical data required to start the entire CAD design process. This relationship moves ADI and Premier Farnell closer to being able to provide our mutual customers with completed "ready to use" CAD libraries for entire manufactures series of components."
“Premier Farnell is very pleased to have Accelerated Designs Inc. embed DesignLink into its unique Ultra Librarian tool. This tool marks the first application, aside from schematic capture, to access our worldwide stores of hundreds of thousands of stocked electronic devices and make them available for association with Accelerated Designs Inc.’s library of ubiquitous schematic symbols and footprints. We think Ultra Librarian will help our customers wishing to separate the job of parts management from specific CAD tool environments,” said Randall Restle, Director of Global Technical Marketing for Premier Farnell.
ADI will be working with Premier Farnell to make the 1.5M Part library available to all Premier Farnell customers that register and download the Free UL Reader. The Library will initially consist of Semiconductors and Connector Parts from such companies as National Semiconductor, Microchip, Linear Technology, Altera, Maxim, Xilinx and others. It is estimated that the Library of parts could save weeks of time on a project vs. building them from scratch.
