Digi-Key Corporation, a provider of ECAD tools, has released an expanded software suite to help streamline the entire printed circuit board (PCB) design process. The platform includes Scheme-It to additional offerings developed with Mentor Graphics.

The design tool ecosystem features a variety of tools created by Aspen Labs — Scheme-It, PartSim and PCBWeb — that offer complimentary diagramming, simulation and PCB design capabilities. In this updated version, users can now order PCBs from leading manufacturers and purchase their entire bill of materials through Digi-Key directly, the company states.

Additionally, Digi-Key and Mentor Graphics have partnered to create a set of professional-level ECAD tools based on the DxDesigner and PAS series. This software release includes free access to Mentor Graphics' PartQuest, a fully-integrated website that merges Digi-Key part numbers with symbols and footprints.

“We’re in the business of giving design engineers everything they need to simplify and accelerate product design,” said Randall Restle, director of Applications Engineering for Digi-Key. “Digi-Key is a one-stop-shop supporting the process from concept to prototyping to production. Most importantly, these tools are linked directly to hundreds of thousands of in-stock components, further simplifying the process. We’re ecstatic about having all of the tools necessary to pave new roads for the design engineer.”
