OrCAD X Capture CIS

Fast, intuitive PCB schematic design solution

circuit diagram

Synchronize design data and rules

The robust integration between schematic entry, analysis and PCB layout within OrCAD X’s scalable suite of tools provides both engineers and designers an easy-to-use environment with a seamless experience to take designs from just an idea to a functional product.

Take advantage of access to an integrated component database, a constraint management system, analysis workflows for signal integrity, design automation that helps eliminate error-prone manual rework and simulation capabilities to connect, optimize and create a well-designed printed circuit board.

Key Benefits

Component Management

With an integrated part search dashboard, it’s easy to find the right part that fits your requirements as well as manage your design data without leaving the design environment.

ease of use & productivity icon
Ease of Use & Productivity

Perform system-level simulation powered by PSpice and MathWork’s Simulink. The Cadence PSpice MATLAB Simulink Interface combines two industry-leading simulation tools to create an environment for electro-mechanical system simulation.

Features

Hierarchical Design

Organize your schematic by specific function making it easy to efficiently reuse, review, or edit your schematics.

Unified Search

Access thousands of up-to-date electronic parts and models within your design environment, and easily place accurate symbols on your canvas with one click. No need to manually review datasheets or search the internet for part data.

Design Synchronization

Online design rule checks (DRCs) help you easily identify and fix issues within your schematic as you design in real-time. And the seamless integration between your schematic and PCB editor allows you to pass engineering change order (ECO) updates bi-directionally

Extensive model library

Access thousands of up-to-date electronic parts and models within your design environment, and easily place accurate symbols on your canvas with one click. Simply focus on designing, not browsing datasheets looking for part data or creating symbols and footprints.

Symbol Editor

Easily create or edit existing symbols that you need for your designs from right within the schematic environment. You can add pins or bulk edit them, associate PSpice models and part-based properties, draw arcs and lines as well as control fonts to create compliant symbols.

Design Difference Viewer

Easily identify and review any differences between your designs. Side by side comparisons help you become more efficient and improve your productivity.
