OrCAD EE Designer Suite

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

Multipliers are often used for signal processing applications. In this note, two examples are presented to illustrate the use of a multiplier to make an amplitude modulator and a frequency doubler.
Application Note
This app note from Cadence takes a look at examples of how the Analog Behavioral Modeling feature in the Cadence® PSpice® environment can cope when generic SPICE fails.
Application Note
The “eye” display is frequently used to illustrate the voltage and timing margins present in a system transmitting digital data. This App note will show how to use PSpice Probe's macro feature to generate an "eye" diagram
Application Note
With "digital worst-case timing simulation," you are able to use Cadence® PSpice® A/D to evaluate the timing behavior of your digital and mixed analog/digital designs as a function of component propagation delay tolerances.
Application Note
Analog Behavioral Modeling (ABM) can be used to model a nonlinear resistor through use of Ohms law, tables, and expressions which describe resistance. This application note provide several examples.
Application Note
The nonlinear capacitor is modeled by using ABM (Analog Behavioral Modeling) available in PSpice.
Application Note
Input and output characteristics of circuits can be expressed in terms of scattering parameters (s-parameters). By adding two subcircuits, s-parameter data can be printed to the output file or displayed in the Probe window.
Application Note
