Cadence® OrCAD® Capture offers 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.
- Provides fast, intuitive schematic editing
- 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
The full-featured schematic editor enables users to place and connect parts from a comprehensive
set of functional libraries.
The project manager enables users to collect and organize all the resources needed for the project
throughout the design flow.
OrCAD Capture boosts schematic editng efficiency by enabling subcircuit reuse—without having to
make multiple copies.
The library editor is accessed directly from the user interface. Users can create and edit parts in the
library or directly from the schematic page without interrupting workflow.
Designers can access all part, net, pin, and title block properties or any subset and make changes
quickly through the spreadsheet property editor.
