Welcome to the new Cadence® OrCAD® Community forum where OrCAD and PSpice® technology users may ask questions, obtain answers, and share best practices. Tell us what's on your mind...other users want to know what you think. You can now find all other OrCAD related information within the silicon-package-board co-design section of  www.cadence.com, or by visiting www.cadence.com/orcad

Discussions on PCB design and simulation are available through our message board topics listed below. They've been organized in a way to offer you quick and easy access. We've directed the topics to focus on ideas generated from our white papers found within the site. We're also including topical industry issues as well. For students, and for those of you new to the industry, we've created a place where experienced designers will share their knowledge with you. Whatever your experience level, you'll find these boards offer a level of informality that encourages lively interaction.

As membership in this community increases, it is necessary to remind members of etiquette lapses. Please observe the following additional posting guidelines:

  • Please be sure you post your question or comment to the appropriate forum.
  • PSpice and simulation questions post to the "SPICE Modeling" or "Simulation using PSpice".
  • All questions from users of the OrCAD Lite CD post to either Basic PCB Design or Basic PSpice.
  • All questions from users of the PSpice Student Evaluation CD post to the Basic PSpice forum. Students please keep your questions out of the "which button do I push" realm.
  • Duplicate postings of the same question to more than one forum are confusing to members and will be deleted by the moderator.
Thank you for keeping our community forums on topic and informative.

Please read our participation guidelines. Guests of the community are welcome to browse the discussions. Only members may post a subject or a reply. Register now to become a member.
