OrCAD PCB Design Suites

In today's demanding PCB design environment, designers and electrical engineers are asked to solve a variety of challenges in record time. To help conquer these challenges, Cadence® offers OrCAD® PCB design suites featuring best-in-class capabilities / technologies that are highly integrated for seamless data flow and ease of installation. They provide increased productivity through ease-of-use, and superior technology that helps facilitate improved design performance along with overall design quality.

The OrCAD PCB design solutions are tiered and segmented to meet a wide array of PCB design challenges and requirements. This allows you to customize and tailor a design solution to fit your specific needs and budget requirements.

Unlike other PCB design solutions, the OrCAD PCB design suites have the ability to grow with your future design needs and technology challenges. They provide a feature-rich, fully scaleable solution that can be expanded and upgraded as your level of PCB challenge and sophistication grows.

The OrCAD PCB design suites combine both time-proven and new OrCAD technology and reflect Cadence's commitment and investment in powerful and easy to use PCB design technology. Sharing technology across the OrCAD and Allegro product lines, the OrCAD PCB design suites can easily be upgraded from the OrCAD product line to the Cadence Allegro PCB design product line. This migration is done without the need to translate databases or libraries, learn new applications, or change use models.

OrCAD PCB Designer Basics
An PCB suite that offers a scalable, cost-effective solution for the design of simple PCBs. Everything you need to take PCB design from concept to production including OrCAD® Capture schematic entry, librarian tools, OrCAD PCB Editor for PCB place and route, interfaces for manufacturing, mechanical CAD, and translators from other PCB systems. OrCAD PCB Designer Basics is scalable to the OrCAD PCB Designer suite and on to the Allegro® PCB tools.

OrCAD PCB Designer
An ideal solution that offers a complete, scalable, cost-effective solution for the design of complex PCBs. Everything you need to take PCB design from concept to production including OrCAD Capture schematic entry, librarian tools, OrCAD PCB Editor for PCB place and route, an auto/interactive router, interfaces for manufacturing, mechanical CAD, and translators from other PCB systems. OrCAD PCB Designer is scalable to the Allegro PCB tools.

OrCAD PCB Designer with PSpice
All of the capabilities of OrCAD PCB Designer as well as PSpice® A/D for circuit analysis and simulation. Tight integration between PSpice A/D and OrCAD Capture facilitates rapid design-and-simulate cycles allowing engineers to explore various design configurations before committing to specific circuit implementation.

OrCAD EE Designer
A complete front-end design solution for schematic entry and circuit simulation / analysis. The suite includes OrCAD Capture schematic entry, the world's leading schematic capture tool, and PSpice® A/D for analog and mixed-signal simulation. The two applications are fully integrated, including one button simulation and cross-probing.

OrCAD EE Designer Plus
All of the capabilities of OrCAD EE Designer as well as the additional capability provided by PSpice Advanced Analysis. Sensitivity analysis, Optimization, Smoke (stress analysis), and Monte Carlo (yield analysis) enable engineers to create virtual prototypes of designs and maximize circuit performance.

There are also OrCAD technology suites available to support university programs. Please ask your local Cadence Channel Partner for more details.

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.
