EMA Design Automation, a full-service provider of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solutions, has launched a ‘Can You Spot the Difference’ Contest for Electrical Engineers.The contest highlights the design compare function added in the new OrCAD 17.2 2016 release which helps users quickly identify what changes are made between PCB design revisions.
“We are excited about the release of the new capabilities for OrCAD. This new graphical compare function is a powerful tool addressing the specialized needs of our users,” said Manny Marcano, President of EMA Design Automation. “Engineers can quickly and easily identify both graphical and electrical differences between two schematics on a page-by-page basis.”
The contest begins on Tuesday, May 24, 2016 and will continue until Tuesday, June 7, 2016 at 12AM EST.

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE): A Valuable Option for Modern Designs
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007When it comes to designing PCBs and full systems for increasingly complex electronics hardware, who doesn’t want to reduce complexity and cost? Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) has emerged as a solution and is gaining rapid attention across industrial electronics and PCB design because it enables Ethernet communication over a single twisted pair, replacing the traditional two- or four-pair cabling used in standard Ethernet networks. This seemingly simple shift has significant implications for designers: smaller connectors, reduced cable weight, longer reach, and the ability to carry both data and power over a single pair.
