OrCAD Capture is a design entry tool that runs on PC platform for FPGA, PCB, and PSpice® applications. It’s the industry’s first true Windows® schematic capture program. OrCAD Capture’s ease-of-use capabilities have made it the industry standard in schematic entry.
CAPTURE CIS
With its comprehensive capture and management environment, including built-in component information systems capabilities, Capture CIS streamlines the front-end design process by reducing the amount of time needed to research and manually enter parts data.
PSpice A/D Basics
An entry-level, mixed-signal simulation tool ideal for simulating simple, basic analog, or basic mixed-signal designs. PSpice A/D Basics imposes no limits on circuit size and performs functional simulation of digital parts in mixed-signal simulations allowing you to perform all the basic PSpice analyses.
PSpice
A full-featured simulator for serious analog designers. Sophisticated, internal models allow you to simulate everything from high-frequency systems to low-power IC designs. Draw on the expansive library of models to create off-the-shelf parts, or create models for new devices. Fully explore the relationships in your design with “what if” scenarios before committing to final implementation.
PSpice A/D
A sophisticated, native mixed-signal simulator and a superset of PSpice. Allows you to simulate mixed-signal designs of any size containing analog and digital parts. This includes everything from IGBTs and pulse-width modulators to DACs and ADCs. View your simulation results in both analog and digital from the same window and on the same time axis.
PSpice Optimizer
Includes all the functionality of PSpice® simulator with the built-in capabilities of PSpice Advanced Analysis.
PSpice Advanced Analysis Option
PSpice Advanced Analysis is a new product from Cadence featuring technology adapted from our Analog Workbench product. As an add-on option to PSpice or PSpice A/D, PSpice Advanced Analysis provides a unified environment for taking designs further – improving time-to-market performance and the overall quality of your design while keeping operating costs in check.
OrCAD Layout
Intended for engineers or designers who use an embedded, grid-based autorouter. OrCAD Layout is ideal for engineers performing critical placement and routing functions; engineers reviewing designs received from team members; designers of RF/microwave designs; engineering teams who use an outside service bureau; or librarians who need to create and maintain corporate libraries. OrCAD Layout is a good choice for designers of less complex boards or companies with lower volumes of new board starts.
OrCAD Layout Plus
Includes all the functionality of OrCAD Layout, but also features auto-placement and a gridless autorouter. An excellent choice for the PCB designers and services bureaus who receive data from a variety of sources.
SPECCTRA Auto-interactive Router Option (PCB Design Studio only)
SPECCTRA auto-interactive router option increases the layer capacity of the SPECCTRA auto-interactive router in PCB Design Studio to 256 layers with unlimited component pins. This brings the supported layer count up to the equivalent of Allegro also found in PCB Design Studio. This option includes a complete ShapeBased automatic and interactive routing system for high-density printed circuit boards. It includes the SPECCTRA autorouter, SPECCTRA interactive route editor, and SPECCTRA interactive placement editor, all of which are upgraded to 256 layers with this option.
PCB design studio with Capture CIS
PCB Design Studio is a highly integrated product suite comprised of the following Cadence PCB design solutions: Concept HDL or Capture CIS
