Approximately 10,000 Components, Including Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors, Now Supported
TOKYO, October 20, 2026 -- TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. today announced that product data for approximately 10,000 TAIYO YUDEN electronic components, including multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), is now available as standard content in the Cadence® OrCAD® X platform, a comprehensive PCB design platform from Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (headquarters: San Jose, California, U.S.A., Nasdaq: CDNS).
The availability of detailed component characteristic data within the platform enables engineers to perform circuit design and simulation more efficiently, helping customers address diverse design requirements, helping customers address diverse design requirements, enhance product functionality, and shorten development cycles
Background
Developing electronic equipment requires complex evaluations, including understanding the characteristics of numerous electronic components, selecting and optimizing those components, and implementing noise countermeasures, in addition to designing semiconductors and peripheral circuits. Meanwhile, in recent years, particularly among startups, there has been growing adoption of agile and lean development methods to bring products to market within short timeframes. As a result, ensuring design quality within limited development schedules has become a challenge.
EDA tools are widely used in electronic product development to reduce development effort and enable compact, high-performance designs. These tools allow engineers not only to verify circuit operation through simulation, but also to evaluate the effects of factors such as heat and noise. However, such simulations require extensive and detailed characteristic data for a wide range of electronic components.
To address this need, TAIYO YUDEN has made detailed characteristic data available for multilayer ceramic capacitors, inductors, chip bead inductors and conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors as standard content in the Cadence OrCAD X platform. This integration enables engineers to design circuits with TAIYO YUDEN components more efficiently and helps customers streamline the design process while meeting diverse component requirements.
TAIYO YUDEN will continue to respond to market needs by expanding the range of information available through the platform and further enhancing its usability.
