EMA Design Automation Announces Unprecedented OrCAD Offer for Innovators
January 13, 2016 | EMA Design AutomationEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
EMA Design Automation, a full-service provider of EDA solutions, has announced a North American promotion aimed at IoT, Maker and other innovators to realize their creativity with industry proven Cadence OrCAD Capture technology.
“OrCAD Capture is the de facto industry standard schematic capture product in the business,” said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA Design Automation. “In today’s economy there are many innovators in large and small companies that want to bring their ideas to life as products, but might not have the budget for the best tools and are forced to use mediocre tools because of the cost. We want to fix this situation.”
Typically, throughout the EDA industry, the initial purchase of any product includes software cost and a one-year maintenance cost. To address the needs of the innovator, EMA is offering Cadence OrCAD Capture for only the cost of maintenance.
Many startups and companies with reduced budgets are forced to use tools that do not enable their future needs. When the innovator’s needs surpass the tool capabilities, like not being supported by a component vendor for a reference design, or failing to grow with the company’s increasing technology needs, the cost of ownership skyrockets as the tools impact user productivity. When designers start with OrCAD Capture, they do not experience these problems. OrCAD with Allegro® technology provides the only fully scalable PCB design solution and is used by companies of all sizes creating designs of all complexities.
Along with access to the industry leading OrCAD Capture software this offer provides additional service and support benefits that are not available with traditional free / low-cost options. This helps innovators rest assured that when deadlines are looming or they need assistance, the PCB design experts at EMA will be available to provide support and answer questions quickly.

iNEMI Packaging Tech Topic Series: Role of EDA in Advanced Semiconductor Packaging
04/26/2024 | iNEMIAdvanced semiconductor packaging with heterogenous integration has made on-package integration of multiple chips a crucial part of finding alternatives to transistor scaling. Historically, EDA tools for front-end and back-end design have evolved separately; however, design complexity and the increased number of die-to-die or die-to-substrate interconnections has led to the need for EDA tools that can support integration of overall design planning, implementation, and system analysis in a single cockpit.
