E-CAD Library Analysis
When dealing with components you have to deal with a significant amount of configuration management issues and challenges arising from a repository of re-usable library components. While by implication the re-use of components that are tried and tested is best practice, this does not mean it will suite every scenario. But if the quality of the component data base is at its best the potential gain from re-using components is significant. While multiple library teams are using a largely common library management infrastructure: sharing components between teams can avoid “reinventing the wheel” and improve overall efficiency. To deliver the most efficiency, Zuken’s EDA library solution provides in-depth analysis methods to ensure the highest quality of library information before re-using libraries or its individual objects like (pads, pad stacks, footprints, packages and symbols etc).
This analysis method is mainly based on the relationships established within the database such as: many to many relationship, i.e. projects consists of many components and a component may be used in many projects. It is also very important to have capabilities like independent release cycles, versioning and branching history for each component available and include this within the analysis method.
If you are interested in how Zuken is able to support you in this area, don’t hesitate to contact us.
