Cadence OrCAD EE Designer Plus suite
provides powerful schematic entry, professional level simulation, and analysis in one streamlined, affordable package.
In today’s engineering design environment, electrical engineers are asked to perform a variety of challenges in a fraction of the time. Along with schematic entry, circuit simulation is becoming an integral part of the schematic design process. Recognizing this need, Cadence® has created the Cadence OrCAD® EE Designer suite, a highly integrated front-end design solution with Cadence OrCAD Capture and Cadence PSpice® A/D in a single package.
OrCAD EE Designer Plus includes OrCAD Capture, and PSpice A/D and Advanced Analysis. OrCAD a comprehensive solution for entering, modifying, and verifying complex system designs quickly and cost-effectively. PSpice A/D a full featured analog simulator with support for digital elements to help solve virtually any design challenge. Cadence PSpice Advanced Analysis a suite of advanced analysis capabilities that help designers maximize circuit performance.
Benefits:
- Provides fast, intuitive schematic editing
- Boosts schematic editing efficiency through design reuse
- Automates the integration of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and programmable logic devices (PLDs)
- Makes changes quickly through a single spreadsheet editor
- Imports and exports every commonly used design file format
- Faster simulation times, higher reliability, and better convergence on larger designs
- Explores design relationships with “what if” scenarios before committing to hardware
- Explores circuit behavior using basic DC, AC, noise, and transient analyses
- Offers library selection of more than 30,000 analog and mixed-signal models

Comprehensive Design Capture
Design Capture Technology provides a comprehensive solution for entering, modifying, and verifying complex system designs quickly and cost-effectively.
Comprehensive Design Capture
Design Capture Technology provides a comprehensive solution for entering, modifying, and verifying complex system designs quickly and cost-effectively.
Whether used to design a new analog circuit, revise a schematic diagram for an existing PCB, or design a digital block diagram with an HDL module, OrCAD Capture allows designers to enter, modify, and verify the PCB design.
- Use the advanced capabilities of OrCAD Capture schematic or Capture CIS, the world’s most popular schematic entry system, to enter your designs
- Select from a library of over 20,000 parts for simulation, or choose from the large library of parts within OrCAD Capture
- Easily import existing PSpice designs, created from Schematics, into the OrCAD Capture / PSpice environment
- Connect analog and digital components to reflect physical connections. The simulator automatically manages the transitions between analog and digital domains Cadence Allegro® Design Entry HDL is also fully integrated with PSpice, including one-button simulation and cross-probing

Full-Featured Analog Simulation
PSpice A/D is a full-featured analog simulator with support for digital elements to help solve virtually any design challenge from high-frequency systems to low-power IC designs.
Full-Featured Analog Simulation
PSpice A/D is a full-featured analog simulator with support for digital elements to help solve virtually any design challenge from high-frequency systems to low-power IC designs.
The powerful simulation engine integrates easily with Cadence PCB schematic entry solutions, improving time to market and keeping operating costs in check. Analog Simulation accomplishes the following goals:
- Explore circuit behavior using basic DC, AC, noise, and transient analysis
- View node voltages, pin currents, and power consumption or noise contributions of individual devices
- Include specific local temperature effects on individual devices for more accurate analysis
- Show circuit behavior variations as components change, via parametric, Monte Carlo, and worstcase analysis

Optimize Circuits
Using optional PSpice Advanced Analysis capabilities, designers can automatically maximize the performance of circuits.
Optimize Circuits
Using optional PSpice Advanced Analysis capabilities, designers can automatically maximize the performance of circuits.
Four important capabilities—sensitivity analysis, optimization, Smoke (stress analysis), and Monte Carlo (yield analysis)—enable engineers to create virtual prototypes of designs and maximize circuit performance automatically. Measurements across multiple simulation profiles can be processed together.

Extensive Model Support
OrCAD EE Designer Suite reduces the challenge of finding models for simulations by providing an extensive variety of models.
Extensive Model Support
OrCAD EE Designer Suite reduces the challenge of finding models for simulations by providing an extensive variety of models. In addition to these models, the OrCAD Marketplace also provides an ever growing source of models for designers as well. Between these two resources designers have access to 30,000+ models.
Accurate Internal Models
• Large variety of built-in models adds flexibility to simulations, most include temperature effects
• Shipped models include R, L, C, plus:
- Built-in IGBTs
- Seven MOSFET models, including industry standard BSIM4, BSIM3v3.2 and the new EKV 2.6 model
- Five GaAsFET models, including Parker-Skellern and TriQuint TOM-3 models
- Two Bipolar models, including Gummel Poon and Mextram
- Nonlinear magnetic models complete with saturation and hysteresis
- Transmission line models that incorporate delay, reflection, loss, dispersion, and crosstalk
- Digital primitives, including bidirectional transfer gates with analog I/O models
• Device Equations Developer’s Kit (DEDK) allows implementation of new internal model equations which can be used with PSpice*
*DEDK is only available with a separate legal agreement through OrCAD Marketing. DEDK is intended for use by experienced device physicists and requires knowledge of C programming.
