Silicon Labs Offers Comprehensive Symbol Model Library To Accelerate Embedded System Design

Silicon Labs' schematic symbols and PCB footprints are available for download in a vendor-neutral format that can be exported to leading computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools using the complimentary Ultra Librarian reader from Accelerated Designs, Inc. Developers can download the reader software to view .bxl symbol and footprint files and generate components and their attributes in virtually any electronic design automation (EDA) CAD/CAE format. Silicon Labs' standard footprints generated by the reader are based on the IPC-7351 specification.

Silicon Labs is committed to helping our MCU customers get into production as quickly as possible, said John Ellis, director of software and tools for Silicon Labs' Embedded Mixed-Signal products. These online tools provide our customers with a fast and flexible way to release symbol models in every format, streamlining the development of embedded applications powered by Silicon Labs MCUs.
