The Component Information Portal™ (CIP) offers Cadence® OrCAD® Capture CIS users a comprehensive, "off-the-shelf" CIS management environment that includes a component library with a pre-defined set of fields to help take the guesswork out of defining a database schema. A web-based interface enables non-OrCAD Capture CIS users, like those in documentation and purchasing, to have access to the parts database behind OrCAD Capture CIS without using native software. CIP also provides users with a distributor interface that allows them to download distributor part data directly into their CIS database.
CIP Datasheet
Manage PCB Component Data the Right Way
Begin the part introduction process by using OrCAD Capture CIS to introduce temporary parts into your CIS database. Take it a step further by using CIP to update the data, assign approved part numbers, and run detailed reports on pending approvals. The user friendly web-based interface provides administrative departments easy access to the component information stored in the CIS database, accelerating the part approval process through enhanced editing functionality.
Streamline the Part Selection Process
For any electronic component database to be effective, it needs a lot of parametric content. Populating hundreds of fields of parametric information for electronic components’ using a manual process is expensive, tedious, and error prone. The CIP single user license includes a starter database of over 1,500 components and the CIP Enterprise edition includes over 5,000 components. Each starter database comes complete with symbols and footprints, as a foundation for the successful implementation of CIS. The distributor integration allows OrCAD Capture CIS users to build onto a database with fully downloadable component content for millions of orderable parts. Part data is copied directly into the database with the push of a button.
