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 provides users with a distributor interface that allows Future Electronics, Premier Farnell®, Newark®, and Digi-Key® parts data to be downloaded directly into their CIS database.
CIP supports multiple users with different access rights, allowing organizations to implement a part approval process and adding a level of protection to help maintain the integrity of the corporate CIS database. CIP is enhanced with a Microsoft SQL Server® database that allows engineering teams to store component information in a multi-table structure specific to device type.
