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.

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
From Construction Work to PCB Design in Under a Year
11/27/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineAt the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show in October, I had the opportunity to talk with some new PCB designers, including Jon Smith of Frontgrade Aethercomm. During the Anaheim show, John Watson, a PCB design instructor at Palomar College, led a panel of his past and present students, including Jon, who shared his story of switching from a construction career to PCB design in a matter of months, courtesy of Watson’s Palomar College design curriculum.
PCB Layout Rules of Thumb for Consideration
11/25/2024 | Patrick Davis, Cadence Design SystemsJust because a “rule of thumb” is usually based on experience instead of precise facts doesn’t negate its value. For instance, when I told my kids that a good rule of thumb was not to back-talk to their mother, they discovered very quickly how accurate my advice was once they crossed that line. There are a lot of rules of thumb that we rely on daily, including those that apply to PCB design.
