E N D
OrCAD XML Tools • e-studio • xml syntax and semantic checker • xml visualization • xml writer for Capture v7.20 or v9.10 • xml reader for Capture v7.20 or v9.10 • Capture database visualization
EDA XML Specification • Uses Express Information Model similar to EDIF 400 Information Model • Covers schematics, connectivity and PCB/MCM • Domain semantics explicitly defined in the Information Model • Derived DTD is at: www.e-tools.com/xml/dtds/EdaXML.dtd
Relationship with EIA • EIA will own the final EdaXML specifications • EdaXML information model • base document similar to EDIF 400 information model • an EdaXML technical committee will be able to add XML specific enhancements • EdaXML reference manual
Relationship with EIA • EdaXML Technical Committee • Next meeting April, 2000 • Current Participating Companies: • Mentor Graphics • Viewlogic Systems • Cadence Design Systems (OrCAD) • Lucent Technologies • Texas Instruments • Agilent
Relationship with EDA Vendors • Mentor Graphics will promote and sell XML tools under a non-exclusive contract • Viewlogic Systems will promote and sell XML tools under a non-exclusive contract
Relationship with EDA Vendors • Cadence Design Systems: • OrCAD - to be determined • Concept SCALDxml - sold by E-Tools • E-Tools will sell EdaXML tools for all supported EDA vendors
Available EdaXML Tools • Mentor Graphics • XML read (schematics) --production • XML write (schematics) -- production • XML netread (netlist) -- production • XML netwrite (netlist) -- production

Available EdaXML Tools • Cadence Design Systems • Concept SCALD xml writer (schematics) -- alpha • OrCAD Capture • e-studio v9.10 (schematics and netlist) -- beta • e-studio v7.20 (schematics and netlist) -- beta
Available EdaXML Tools • PADS: XML functionality is available within e-studio -- beta • Protel / P-CAD will be available within e-studio -- pre-alpha
Relationship with Si2 • Coordination with Si2 Quick Data specification • EdaXML will bring real EDA objects to Si2 users
Relationship with OrCAD • XML based netlist tools are available at no cost to OrCAD users • XML schematic functionality is available to OrCAD users at no cost upon purchase of a maintenance agreement • XML tools will be available to download from OrCAD’s web site
Sample of EdaXML Uses • EdaXML is available today • Can be used for integration of multiple EDA platforms I.e. Concept SCALD to OrCAD Capture • Can be used for publishing • EDA symbols • PCB footprints • Schematic designs
