CENTENNIAL, CO -- In a new collaboration announced today, users of certain Cadence design software will gain access to Arrow Electronics' online component and reference design data available through SiliconExpert.

Users of the OrCad suite of printed circuit board design tools will be able to shorten time-to-market by achieving production-ready designs and ensuring that components are readily available, regulatory compliant and have lifecycles consistent with product requirements and cost targets, the companies said in a joint press release.

The collaboration also allows Arrow's global team of support and solutions engineering teams to add OrCad to their portfolio, enabling them to create and deliver reference designs in OrCad formats and better support engineers who utilize the software.

"Arrow is excited to collaborate with Cadence to better serve our customers," said Cathy Morris, chief strategy officer for Arrow. "This strategic collaboration with Cadence is another example of how Arrow is driving innovation forward for the designers, engineers, makers and innovators we support."

"The collaboration with Arrow allows customers to access qualified components while using the Cadence PCB suite so they can deliver innovative designs to market faster," said Tom Beckley, senior vice president and general manager, Custom IC and PCB Group at Cadence. "Many of our customers already use Arrow products and services, so the collaboration can provide a seamless customer experience."
