Microchip Technology Inc. a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, and Accelerated Designs Inc. have collaborated on an Ultra Librarian Reader (ULR) tool to provide Microchip's customers with schematic symbols and printed circuit board (PCB) footprints for the company's entire product portfolio, including the 8-, 16-, and 32-bit PIC microcontrollers, dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs), Serial EEPROMs, and Analog and Interface products. Providing components based on parametric data through the ULR allows PCB designers to reliably create consistent quality CAD entities to an established standard with minimal effort.
