DigiKey collaborates with ST and Ultra Librarian to deliver enhanced eDesignSuite integration
DigiKey has announced the availability of an enhanced eDesignSuite experience, developed through a collaboration with ST and Ultra Librarian. The improved tool environment allows engineers to design, simulate, refine and confidently validate their projects using ST components and to purchase their entire bill of materials (BOM) directly from DigiKey in a few easy steps.
The enhanced eDesignSuite from DigiKey, ST and Ultra Librarian helps engineers design, simulate and validate projects with integrated BOM refinement and multi-CAD export capabilities.
The eDesignSuite, developed by ST, is a free, publicly accessible, no-license-required online design platform that provides a unified workflow for power management, signal conditioning, NFC/RFID applications and other design domains. The collaboration with DigiKey and Ultra Librarian expands the platform’s capabilities by tightly integrating component models, simulation flows, BOM management and multi-CAD exports.
The enhanced eDesignSuite experience provides several new and expanded capabilities, including:
• Integrated thermal and electrical simulation support through SIMPLIS/SIMetrix, enabling deeper performance verification and design confidence
• Real-time BOM refinement with live impact analysis, allowing engineers to immediately see how parameter changes affect design choices and performance
• Seamless export of schematics and BOMs to multiple CAD environments, including OrCAD, Altium and Eagle
• Application-specific design support, including power management design, thermal-electrical simulation, signal conditioning and NFC/RFID calculators
These capabilities make ST the first integrated circuit vendor to offer this level of design tool connectivity with DigiKey’s purchasing systems.
The enhanced eDesignSuite provides an end-to-end workflow that helps engineers:
• Efficiently evaluate operating conditions, waveforms and design alternatives
• Validate the impact of component selections
• Generate finalized schematics and BOM files
• Export to preferred CAD environments
• Purchase the entire BOM from DigiKey in a few streamlined steps
