Tool Support For RoHS Compliance From Mentor

"Mentor Graphics Corp. said Tuesday (July 26) that it has begun offering printed circuit board (PCB) tool support designed to help customers achieve Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance. Mentor said the support would help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) ensure compliance early and throughout the design process, eliminating costly iterations. Customers are able to leverage the component library data field flexibility to implement filtered search and bill of material (BOM) capabilities, enabling OEMs to design for RoHS compliance and avoid the cost associated with redesign time, Mentor said."
