For every component available within the SpinCircuit database, there is an XML symbol associated with it. These symbols are ready to use, unlike other offerings that require engineers to complete the symbol generation. Designers can now convert the SpinCircuit XML symbols to the native formats of all these EDA tools. They can also convert the symbols to the formats of any EDA tools for which companies or individuals have created their own XML translators. According to Antoine Bigirimana, president and CEO of E-Tools, 'As the Internet proliferates and design collaboration becomes a reality, it is increasingly necessary that designers have the tools they need to seamlessly use multiple EDA platforms and tools.
Interoperability is now a requirement.
We are pleased that SpinCircuit has also adopted EdaXML as the basis of its new symbols. As a result, enterprises with EDA and the XML Connector can easily integrate new XML applications with mission-critical systems and applications in distributed environments. The EDA XML Connector supports both synchronous and asynchronous access methods, making it ideal for applications requiring either real-time or deferred processing. HTML and PDF . EdaXML will facilitate design collaboration over the Web using XML Web servers, provide true interoperability between various EDA databases and allow linking seamlessly designs on multiple EDA platforms.
