Digi-Key Electronics, a global electronic components distributor, announces it has reached a new milestone with Ultra Librarian; with the online library providing symbols, footprints, and 3D models for 1.25 million in-stock Digi-Key parts.
The addition of more associated parts allows customers to easily design with most of Digi-Key’s components in 22 CAD formats supporting most EDA and CAD toolsets.
Creating and maintaining a library as large as Ultra Librarian requires a team of PCB and software experts to understand the needs of design engineers and to create software that support the needs of both the library creation team and the end users. “A big part of the job is creating the Ultra Librarian desktop software which is what we use to create the parts,” said Frank Frank, product architect for Ultra Librarian. “We develop tools in the software to increase the speed of capturing part information and to validate the parts by performing over 30 different checks to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adherence to IPC standards.”
Ultra Librarian® is a comprehensive electronic component solution for PCB design. http://www.UltraLibrarian.com allows visitors to search a database of over 40 million components to make part selection and sourcing decisions. Registered users can download pre-authored and verified components from the world’s largest database of over 14 million CAD neutral library parts. Symbols, footprints, and 3D models from over 400 manufacturers can be exported to over 20 different CAD tools. Library creation software includes templates for over 600 part types and allows easy customization and export to the same 20+ CAD tools. Ultra Librarian is owned by EMA Design Automation.
