OrCAD offers a customizable and user-friendly modern interface that provides real-time insights, empowering you to make informed decisions during schematic and PCB layout design.
PSpice is the gold standard for design analysis, providing essential features like component tolerance analysis, manufacturability assessment, sensitivity analysis, and seamless integration with MATLAB for advanced systems simulation.
Schematic entry is the first step in converting a concept into a design. OrCAD PCB Designer provides symbol libraries and connectivity features for easy schematic design.
Hierarchical design enables easy reuse of known circuit blocks, quick definition of circuits at a higher level, and effortless application of validated constraints to meet electrical requirements in PCB design.
Before proceeding to layout, it is essential to simulate your circuit to validate its behavior and identify any necessary modifications.
PSpice simplifies this process by allowing you to simulate your design virtually using SPICE models and various simulation profiles.
Here is a quick walk-through on how you can translate your Altium schematic and PCB design databases to OrCAD.
