ROCHESTER, NY – EMA Design Automation introduces Component Information Portal (CIP) version 2.2, for design capture and data management. The latest version of CIP adds 800 additional parts to the existing foundation library and increases the CIP Enterprise foundation library to more than 5,000 parts.
 
Designed for multi-user environments with more complex data management requirements, CIP version 2.2 takes advantage of the relational database support in Cadence OrCAD Capture CIS 16.2.
 
The advanced export feature allows users to update an external list of parts with information from the CIS database. CIP Enterprise can convert an OrCAD Capture CIS BOM into a BOM that is hierarchical, showing the manufacturers linked to each company part number. In addition, engineering teams can manage component data via the CIP web-based browser.
