Cadence PSpice A/D
combines industry-leading, native analog and mixed-signal engines to deliver a complete circuit simulation and verification solution that meets the changing simulation needs of designers at all stages of the design cycle.
Cadence® 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. Based on SPICE, the powerful simulation engine integrates easily with Cadence PCB schematic entry solutions, improving time to market and keeping operating costs in check. An interactive, easy-to-use graphical user interface provides complete control over the design process. Because of its popularity, resources for PSpice are widely available and include models from many vendors, built-in mathematical functions, and behavioral modeling techniques.
Additional capabilities such as Smoke, Sensitivity, and more can be added to PSpice with the Advanced Analysis Package.

and an industry-standard waveform viewer. Support for multiple simulation profiles enables users to recall and run different simulations on the same schematic. The 16.5 release introduced the productivity enhancing feature of partial design simulation. Identify individual components of any design, and, using the partial design simulation feature, simulate only selected portions. Using this feature, you can simulate different circuits in the design with different simulation profiles. In addition, you can compare and merge portions of a design quickly.
Mixed Analog/Digital Simulations let you perform integrated analog and event-driven digital simulations to improve speed without loss of accuracy. A single graphical waveform analyzer displays mixed analog and digital simulation results on the same time axis.

PSpice Probe
Probe Windows allows users to choose from an expanded set of mathematical functions to apply to simulation output variables.
Designers can create plot window templates and use them to easily make complex measurements by simply placing markers directly on the desired pins, nets, and parts in the schematic.
- View simulation results in multiple waveform windows
- Select waveforms by name or by marking a net, pin, or part in the schematic
- Utilize cross-probing markers once and they stay with the analysis. As you change and re-simulate the design, the marked waveforms appear after each simulation
- View continuous, real-time “marching waveforms” as simulation progresses
- Copy and paste high-resolution, scalable waveforms into other applications for producing documentation
- Create plot window templates and use them to easily plot complex functions of signals, just by placing markers on desired pins, nets, and parts in the schematic
- Measure performance characteristics of your circuit using built-in measurement functions or create your own measurements

making it possible to have a single, unified design environment for both simulation and PCB design. Bringing all these tools into one environments allows designers to quickly shift tools and rapidly understand the effects of changes. Faster workflows are created and design quality is increased through this process. Additionally, designers can select from a library of more than 18,000 symbols and models for simulation to design with Cadence PCB schematic design entry technology.
- Set up and run simulations, and cross-probe simulation results from OrCAD Capture
- Use the hierarchical netlister with parametric sub-circuits for faster netlisting of complex hierarchical designs
- Expanded simulations can be run in the background while design editing continues
- Create multiple simulation profiles and save them in the OrCAD Capture Project Manager, allowing previous simulations to be recalled and run
- View simulation bias results directly on the schematic, including node voltages, pin and sub-circuit currents, and device power calculations

Unmatched Speed and Performance
PSpice simulation is the fastest way to simulate your circuits and includes highly valuable features such as Checkpoint Restart and Auto-Convergence to make your processes even more efficient. One way PSpice improves speed without loss of accuracy is through integrated analog and event-driven digital simulations. Its powerful simulation engine greatly improves simulation times, reliability, and convergence on larger designs.
PSpice A/D contains a checkpoint restart features that eliminates large amounts of wasted time. This feature allows designer to store simulation states at various time-points and then restart simulations from any of the simulation states. The designer can modify simulation settings and design parameters before starting a simulation from a pre-recorded time-state. This saves designers the time of re-simulating everything, allowing them to focus on specific areas of the design. Another time saving feature is Auto-Convergence; this option makes the simulator automatically change tolerances limits of convergence to make the design converge. Designers can use this option to achieve convergence and then fine-tune simulations by further modifying simulator options.
- Perform and monitor simulations, view simulation messages and graphical results, view and edit text files — all from a unified simulation environment
- Utilize analog analysis capabilities such as user-defined accuracy, automatic time-step control, and proprietary convergence algorithms to control the simulation process
- Interactively trade off accuracy and simulation time by loosening tolerances and time steps during non-critical periods of transient analyses, or by extending a transient analysis beyond pre-specified end time
- Preempt the current simulation to immediately run another one, then return to complete the preempted simulation later; control the queue of simulations waiting to be performed
