Cadence® OrCAD® Capture CIS (or OrCAD Capture with CIS Option) integrates the OrCAD Capture schematic design application with features of a CIS. It is designed to reduce time spent searching existing parts for reuse, manually entering part information content, and ongoing maintenance of component data. Search parts based on their electrical characteristics, and Capture CIS automatically retrieves the associated part.
- Speeds the design process while lowering costs
- Full-featured Schematic Editor combines Windows user interface with functionality and features specific to the design engineer
- Project Manager coordinated design data organizes and tracks the various types of data generated in the design process
- Hierarchy design and reuse enables subcircuit reuse without having to make multiple copies
- Libraries and part editor allows part creation and editing in the library or directly from the schematic page without interrupting your workflow
- Integrate large I/O count FPGAs and CPLDs to simplify the creation of the core FPGA library parts for devices that might have many hundreds of pins. Capture CIS Includes an annotate option which modifies an existing symbol with new pin assignments
If a schematic or database changes, you can synchronize the information interactively with confidence that the correct bill of materials (BOM) or netlist will instantaneously be generated. OrCAD Capture CIS allows you to secure correct part data early in the design process. Because you can pass complete component specifications to board designers and other members of your design team, you can significantly reduce the potential for downstream errors, which can trigger unnecessary and often costly board turns.
From individuals in small organizations to multi-site teams who need to collaborate with dozens of engineers across multiple locations, OrCAD Capture CIS provides a flexible and scalable solution that can be quickly implemented.
OrCAD Capture, a flat and hierarchical Schematic Page Editor, is based on OrCAD’s legacy of fast, intuitive schematic editing. Schematic Page Editor combines a standard Windows user interface with functionality and features specific to the design engineer for accomplishing design tasks and publishing design data.
Through Interchange Architecture, OrCAD Capture CIS accepts OrCAD plug-ins for programmable logic design and analog simulation. You can create and simulate your entire design within a single environment. The centralized Project Manager organizes your entire design and process flow.
Manage your entire design using a sophisticated project management system. An expanding tree diagram lets you efficiently navigate and organize all of your design files, including those files generated by plug-in modules available from OrCAD.
With OrCAD Capture CIS, you can easily organize and reuse duplicate circuitry through the use of hierarchical blocks. You can update ports and pins dynamically and reuse Cadence OrCAD Layout and Cadence Allegro® PCB modules within or between schematics.
OrCAD Capture CIS works with any database that complies with Microsoft’s ODBC standard. You can directly access data in an MRP, ERP, or PDM system and/or an intermediate database dedicated to engineering component data. Standard drivers are supplied for ODBC compliant databases.
You can use the CIS Database Creation Wizard to automatically create a new preferred part database. This wizard will populate your database with property information extracted from your existing OrCAD Capture schematics. The latest version of the wizard is available free of charge.
A new, fully integrated online component library, accessed through OrCAD Capture CIS, allows you to search and select components from more than two million parts. This significant increase of access to parts provides users with a whole new level of design flexibility by allowing them to search online with Active Parts™ instead of having to search only a local database for new parts.
