Streamlining Project Efficiency with Murata’s Pre-Installed Electrical Models in the Latest Versions of Cadence OrCAD X Capture™, Allegro X System Capture™ and AWR Design Environment™ (Microwave Office)

KYOTO, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 20, 2025--

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) announces a significant collaboration with Cadence Design Systems, Inc., making product libraries directly accessible within Cadence’s leading Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. Murata’s selected inductor and capacitor products are now pre-installed in the latest versions of Cadence OrCAD X Capture™, Allegro X System Capture™ and AWR Design Environment™ (Microwave Office). By enabling engineers to select Murata components directly within these tools and run simulations, this initiative is set to refine circuit design and streamline the design process for power supply, high-frequency, and noise suppression circuits.

Advancements in IC performance and increased circuit complexity on PCBs are driving the industry shift towards front-loading design, which leads to fewer prototyping iterations. Circuit simulation tools are essential but require comprehensive product information. Previously, designers using Cadence EDA tools faced the challenge of downloading models from the Murata website or acquiring them through sales representatives, followed by manual installation - a process that took time and effort.

Collaborating with Cadence directly eliminates the time-consuming task of manually accessing Murata product data. This provides immediate access to crucial information within EDA tools, and addresses the need for robust circuit design, which refines the evaluation and verification of signal quality, power supply stability, and noise levels.

The data provided by Murata includes both static and dynamic models for OrCAD X Capture (R23.1-S011 or later) and Allegro X System Capture, which target general electronic circuit design. The dynamic models accurately reflect nonlinearities, such as DC superimposed characteristics and frequency characteristics, for greater accuracy in real-world conditions. Designers can choose part numbers from approximately 1,600 power inductors and 5,000 RF inductors.

Within the AWR Design Environment (Ver. 17 or later), a robust component library of Murata’s static models is available for RF and microwave circuit design. This library includes part numbers for about 5,000 RF inductors and 24,000 multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs).

Murata views this integration as a crucial step, responding to Cadence's interest in obtaining model information for passive components. Looking ahead, Murata will continue to work with Cadence to add to each component library, and plans to automatically provide Cadence with the latest models via API. This ongoing commitment supports Murata’s goal of enabling efficient and precise electronic design. Product data can also be downloaded from Murata’s website for OrCAD X Capture and AWR Design Environment.

In addition, Murata product data for use with the Cadence PSpice™ circuit simulator is available for download from Murata’s website. This page is also accessible from the PSpice website.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones, the last Democrat to hold statewide office in Alabama, kicked off his campaign for governor Friday, saying voters deserve a choice and a leader who will put aside divisions to address the state's pressing needs.

“With your help we can finish what we began. We can build the Alabama we’ve always deserved,” Jones told a packed crowd at a Birmingham campaign rally featuring musician Jason Isbell.

He said the state has urgent economic, health care and educational issues that are not being addressed by those in public office.

The campaign kickoff came on the eighth anniversary of Jones' stunning 2017 win over Republican Roy Moore, and Jones said Alabama proved back then that it can defy “simplified labels of red and blue.”

“You stood up and you said something simple but powerful. We can do better,” Jones said. “You said with your votes that our values, Alabama values, are more important than any political party, any personality, any prepackaged ideology.”

His entry into the race sets up a possible rematch with Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who defeated Jones by 20 points in 2020 and is also now running for governor. Both will have party primaries in May before the November election.

Before running for office, Jones, a lawyer and former U.S. attorney, was best known for prosecuting two Ku Klux Klansmen responsible for Birmingham’s infamous 1963 church bombing.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Jones said families are having a hard time with things like health care, energy bills and simply making ends meet.

“People are struggling,” he said. “They are hurting.”

Jones used part of his speech to describe his agenda if elected governor. He said it is time for Alabama to join most states in establishing a state lottery and expanding Medicaid. Expanding Medicaid, he said, will protect rural hospitals from closure and provide health care coverage to working families and others who need it.

He criticized Tuberville's opposition to extending Affordable Care Act subsidies. Jones said many Alabama families depend on those subsides to buy health insurance "to keep their families healthy."

Alabama has not elected a Democratic governor since Don Siegelman in 1998. In 2020, Tuberville held Jones to about 40% of the vote, which has been the ceiling for Alabama Democrats in recent statewide races.

Retired political science professor Jess Brown said Jones lost in 2020 despite being a well-funded incumbent, and that's a sign that he faces an uphill battle in 2026.

“Based on what I know today, at this juncture of the campaign, I would say that Doug Jones, who’s a very talented and bright man, is politically the walking dead,” Brown said.

Jones acknowledged being the underdog and said his decision to run stemmed in part from a desire for Tuberville not to coast into office unchallenged.

Jones pointed to recent Democratic victories in Georgia, Mississippi and other locations as cause for optimism.

Tuberville, who previously headed up the football program at Auburn University, had “no record except as a football coach” when he first ran, Jones said. And “now there are five years of being a United States senator. There are five years of embarrassing the state.”

Jones continued to question Tuberville’s residency, saying he “doesn’t even live in Alabama, and if he does, then prove me wrong.” Tuberville has a beach house in Walton County, Florida, but has repeatedly said Auburn is his home.

Tuberville's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment but has previously noted that he defeated Jones handily in 2020. Tuberville spent part of Friday with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Huntsville to mark the official relocation of U.S. Space Command from Colorado to Alabama.

Jones' 2017 victory renewed the hopes, at least temporarily, of Democratic voters in the Deep South state. Those gathered to hear him Friday cheered his return to the political stage.

“I’m just glad that there’s somebody sensible getting in the race,” Angela Hornbuckle said. “He proved that he could do it as a senator.”
