Affordable and Scalable, Built to Grow with Your Business

Your business is unique, and your needs change over time. You don’t want to pay for technology you don't need, but you do want all the technology you do need. OrCAD is the only fully scalable PCB design platform in the market. You can get the functionalities you need now, and easily upgrade later when your design complexity grows.

Right First-Time Design with Constraint-Driven Flow in OrCAD

As engineers, we try our best to avoid design errors as we know how painful, time consuming and frustrating it is to fix errors later in the design process. What if we could stop fixing mistakes, what if we stopped making them? The powerful constraint-driven PCB design flow of OrCAD helps you identify the design errors in real time, so that you can get your design right the first time.

Increase Design Manufacturability and Reliability with PSpice

Optimize your circuit’s performance and explore "what if" scenarios so you can get it just right. You can simulate complex mixed-signal designs, containing both analog and digital parts to support models like IGBTs, pulse width modulators, DACs, and ADCs. Once your design is functional, you can use the PSpice Advanced Analysis to improve the overall cost and reliability.

Advanced Technologies to Improve Design Efficiency

OrCAD is powered by industry leading Allegro® PCB technologies. You can be confident working with large, complex boards, and small, dense boards alike. OrCAD gives you all the tools and capabilities you need to complete your next PCB design project on-time.
