What is OrCAD?
The name OrCAD is a portmanteau, reflecting the
software's origins: Oregon + CAD.
OrCAD is a proprietary software tool suite used
primarily for electronic design automation
The software is used mainly to create electronic prints
for manufacturing of PCBs, by electronic design
engineers and technicians to manufacture electronic
schematics and diagrams, and for their simulation
OWNERSHIP:
The OrCAD product line is fully owned by
Cadence Design Systems.
The latest iteration has the ability to maintain a
database of available integrated circuits.
This database may be updated by the user by
downloading packages from component
manufacturers, such as Analog Devices or Texas
Instruments.
OrCAD design
Industry-proven OrCAD solutions are available as
standalone products or in comprehensive suites.
OrCAD PCB design suites provide a feature-rich,
fully scalable solution.
OrCAD PCB design suites combine both timetested and new OrCAD technologies.
OrCAD capture
OrCAD Capture CIS is a software tool used for
circuit schematic capture. It is part of the OrCAD
circuit design suite.
When exported to other tools in the OrCAD
design suite, the data stored in the CIS is also
transferred to the other tool.
It may export a hardware description of the
circuit schematic in Verilog or VHDL.
OrCAD signal explorer:
Enables exploration,
analysis, and design of
interconnect topologies
to improve circuit
reliability and
performance and reduce
prototype re-spins.
OrCAD PCB Designer:
It offers proven,
scalable, easy-to-use
PCB editing and routing
solution. Delivers a
comprehensive feature
set and seamless PCB
design environment to
take designs from
concept to production.
PSpice A/D and Advanced
Analysis:
Advanced Analysis
prevents board failures
by determining which
components are overstressed using Smoke
analysis or observing
component yields using
Monte Carlo analysis.

History of Cadence:
Cadence was formed by the merger of two
visionary software companies. SDA Systems
Inc., located in San Jose, California.
SDA distinguished itself from the competition
-Sun Microsystems, Digital Equipment, and
Apollo Computer.
In 1989, Japan- joe costello-40% of
semiconductors.
Achievements
Costello's dream came true, and Cadence continues
to lead the EDA industry.
Some 5,000 Cadence employees—from San Jose to
Noida to Yokohama—now serve customers with
inventive products that cover the broadest range of
EDA domains.
Cadence software helps overcome manufacturing
risks by modeling the impact of fabrication processes
early in the design flow.
