Cadence Launches OrCAD Xplore Design Platform Release is planned for Nov. 10 Cadence said its new OrCAD Xplore Design Platform integrates component research, design, supply chain insights and procurement with OrCAD X Capture. The platform, aimed at individual designers and small design teams that frequently use disparate software and hardware to research and validate parts, will also give users manufacturer-validated models, reference designs and other technical content from partners such as Digi-Key, Molex, TI, St and Murata.

The new tool is built into the Ultra Librarian ecosystem and will include more than 16 million released and validated component models. The tool also features voice-activated AI dialogue capabilities, so engineers can determine component costs, lead times, availability, alternatives and compliance. Cadence anticipates the integrated workflow will cut down the time spent researching components by up to 80%.
