Component Information Portal (CIP)

Centralized Library for Part Selection and Management

Fast and Efficient PCB CAD Library Management

Accelerate your design process with centralized, shared access to your component library across the organization with the Component Information Portal (CIP). Utilize the advantages of a shared parts library to streamline component research, introduce new parts, and maintain data integrity. The intuitive interface and real-time access to lead time, obsolescence, supply chain information, and distributor information directly in your CAD tool provides a streamlined workflow ensuring only available and approved parts are being used throughout your entire team.

Key Benefits

Centralized Component Data Management
Accurate, Up-to-Date Parametric Data
Streamlined Part Management
Integrated, Verified Component Models

Dynamic Parametric Data

Add, maintain, and search component parametric data on millions of available parts from multiple distributors including Digikey, Mouser, Future, Newark, and more, directly within your design environment. Automatic population of component information upon part creation reduces discrepancies and errors.

Integrated New Part Introduction

Request a new part based on an existing database part or distributor information and continue to design with temporary parts until approval. Live parametric and distributor information is automatically populated in the part attributes, eliminating manual entry, saving time, and ensuring accuracy of component information. Easily associate simulation models, symbols, footprints, documents, and multiple manufacturers to components for a comprehensive database.

Pre-Built, Verified Models

Integration to Ultra Librarian’s expansive library of over 16 million symbols, footprints, and 3D models directly within CIP allows users to associate verified component models during the new part introduction process or to existing database parts. This allows engineers to focus on the design instead of model creation, accelerating the product development process.
