High-Speed Design - Overview
Quickly and easily identify signal integrity issues on your PCB design with the various tools to improve design performance.
Cost Performance Yield - Overview
Advanced analysis simulation tools help you adjust your PCB designs right from the start, so you can identify component limitations, performance, and cost without relying on guess-work.
Design Reuse - Overview
With OrCAD, it’s easy to reuse past designs to ensure productivity, minimize design errors and get to market with verified technology faster.
Design Reliability - Overview
As you work on the layout of your PCB design, it’s important that you run any necessary manufacturing checks to ensure higher quality and reliability of your product.
Constraint Driven Design - Overview
A constraint driven approach makes your PCB design process smoother. Eliminate the need for multiple design reviews as well as shorten the overall design process.
Simulink CoSimulation
The seamless bi-directional integration between MathWorks MATLAB Simulink and PSpice lets you easily simulate electrical circuits and mechanical, hydraulic, thermal blocks in one unified environment.
Monte Carlo Analysis
Predict component failure before your design arrives at manufacturing.
IPC-2581
By using the IPC-2581 manufacturing data format, you can accurately convey design intent to your manufacturer, and improve time to market.
Find by Query
Find exactly what you’re looking for in your PCB designs. Drag-and-drop to build your search query and save it for later to use it again.
Design Difference Viewer
Easily identify and review any differences between your PCB designs to save time and improve productivity.
Design for Manufacturing, Fabrication, and Assembly
With a full suite of DFM checks including Design for Fabrication (DFF), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Test (DFT) running in real-time while you design.
Custom Workflows and Toolbar
Create custom workflows for specific tasks or roles–like library creation or quality control checks–to quickly access frequently used commands.
Coupling Analysis
Identify and resolve coupling issues within your design prior to production.
Contour Arc Routing
Confidently and accurately route though any design with ease improving your productivity. Draw evenly spaced curved traces at any angle to meet your PCB design needs.
Design for Testing (DFT)
Quickly and easily manage your Design for Testing (DFT) constraints with real-time DFM technology for improved quality, reduced costs and higher production yields.
Inline Real-Time Checks
By checking for DFM issues while you design in real time you’ll get your designs done faster and have less stress at signoff.
