Cadence® OrCAD® Capture CIS integrates OrCAD Capture schematic design application with features of a component information system (CIS). It reduces the time spent searching existing parts for reuse, manually entering part information content, and maintaining component data. Users search parts based on their electrical characteristics, and OrCAD Capture CIS automatically retrieves the associated part. OrCAD Capture CIS is ideal for individual design teams or multi-site teams who need to collaborate across multiple locations. It gives designers access to correct part data early in the design process and enables complete component specifications to be passed to board designers and other members of the design team, reducing the potential for downstream errors.

Key benefits


Simplifies organizing and tracking the various types of data generated in the design process with a Project Manager tool
Allows managing unlimited board assembly variations without having to maintain duplicate schematics
Integrates easily with any MRP, ERP or PDM systems—works with any database that complies with Microsoft's ODBC standards
Allows searching and selecting of parts from ActiveParts™,a fully integrated online component library of two million parts


The OrCAD product line is supported by a worldwide network of Cadence® Channel Partners. For sales, technical support, and training inquiries, please visit the global Cadence Channel Partner listing to find a partner in your region.
