Valor Acquires PCB Matrix
January 6, 2009 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
YAVNE, Israel Valor Computerized Systems acquired the assets of PCB Matrix Corporation, a provider of EDA library generation tools for both land pattern and schematic symbols. Valor will expand its PCB design software line with the purchase, adding land pattern and schematic symbol generation.
PCB Matrix customers will now have access to Valor's global support services. PCB Matrix served as an integral partner with IPC in the development of IPC-7351 Land Pattern standards, and introduced the LP Wizard land pattern generation software and the Symbol Wizard, which adds the automation of custom schematic symbol models using advanced component Web search and links to deeper content. The tools are designed to reduce engineering product development cycle time, using fewer resources.
Valor's geometric component database, the Valor Parts Library, boasts more than 35 million parts for use in design and assembly applications, such as design for manufacturing (DfM), SMT programming, and technical documentation. "Extending the value of the ISO-certified content upstream into the design arena is a logical progression for us" says Patrick McGoff, VP design market at Valor. "We will offer a streamlined library creation process that has the potential to incorporate manufacturing knowledge into the EDA libraries."
