Cadence OrCAD Capture includes numerous eatures

that acilitate PCB schematic entry. An industry standard in

PCB schematic entry, it is one o the most popular systems

because o its intuitive use model and out-o-the-box

capabilities. With OrCAD Capture CIS, component

inormation can be accessed rom both online andcentralized part databasesexpediting circuit creation.

CADENCE ORCAD CAPTURESCHEMATIC ENTRY

Whether used or designing a new analog

circuit, revising digital schematic diagrams

or an existing PCB, or implementing

hierarchical block design, OrCAD Capture

delivers everything needed to take circuit

design rom concept to production.Seamless interaces establish robust data

paths plus integration with OrCAD PCB

Editor or physical PCB design and with

Cadence PSpice A/D or analog/circuit

simulation. OrCAD Capture CIS integrates

the OrCAD Capture schematic design

application with the added capabilities

o a component inormation system

(CIS), allowing easy access to component

databases and part inormation.

FEATURES

SCHEMATICEDITOR

The fat and hierarchical schematic page

editor o OrCAD Capture builds on the

OrCAD legacy o ast and easy schematic

editing. It combines an intuitive interace

with the eatures and unctionality neededto speed design tasks and acilitate circuit

creation. For larger, more complex designs,

OrCAD Capture supports multi-sheet and

hierarchical designs. It also makes

hierarchical designs easy to traverse and

ensures that all connections are maintained

accurately throughout the design.

COMPONENTINFORMATION

SYSTEM

CIS is a central part o the OrCAD

Capture design solution. It automatically

synchronizes and validates the externally

sourced data with the schematic design

database. CIS works with any database

that complies with Microsots ODBC

standard to directly access data in an MRP,

ERP, or PLM system, or in an intermediate

database dedicated to engineering

component data.

PARTSELECTION

With easy access to component databases

and part inormation, designers can

reduce the amount o time spent

researching parts. CIS allows users to

identiy, utilize, and design with preerred

components. Parts can be queried based

on their electrical, physical, or corporatecharacteristics, then be automatically

retrieved or use in the schematic. Adding

components directly rom company

databases minimizes errors in bills o

materials (BOM) and parts lists, and

allows control o part usage or industry

directives such as RoHS and WEEE.

INTERNETCOMPONENTASSISTANT

CIS also eatures the Internet Component

Assistant (ICA) or accessing component

inormation in online databases. As with

corporate database access, online parts

can be queried based on electrical,

physical, or manuacture characteristics,

and be automatically retrieved or the

schematic. The ree Cadence ActiveParts

online electronic databaseaccessible

through ICAcontains more than 2

million parts. With ActiveParts, users can

search or and select parts based on

speciccriteria,andpreviewparts

beore placing them in a schematic.

INTERFACECAPABILITIES

Seamless bidirectional integration

with OrCAD PCB Editor enables

synchronization and cross-probing/

placing between the schematic and the

board. Automated engineering change

orders (ECOs) back-annotate layout

changes, gate/pin swaps, and changes

to component names or values. OrCAD

Capture CIS comes with a library o

schematic symbols and associated VHDL

models, as well as the EDIF schematic

and other CAD vendor netlist interaces.

Figure 2: Tight product integration provides

crossprobing and accurate data passing between

OrCAD Capture and OrCAD PCB Editor.

Figure 3: Visibility into and access to complete part

inormation ensures accurate and inormed selections,

reducing the risk o delays later in the design process.
