Advanced PDF Extraction

OrCAD Library Builder includes unique PDF extraction technology which allows users to capture and convert data quickly and efficiently. With t... he advanced PDF extraction capabilities, you can quickly import BGA maps, SOIC diagrams, and complex tables directly from the PDF into OrCAD Library Builder to jump start component model creation and minimize errors due to human entry.

Advanced PDF Extraction

Efficient Schematic Symbol Creation

OrCAD Library Builder includes features to accelerate the schematic symbol creation process, allowing users to quickly extract datasheet speci... fications as well as efficiently format and check the data. Once the data is validated, automatically assign pins to symbols, interactively drag-and-drop pins to desired locations, and intelligently fracture large symbols by user–defined characteristics to quickly create the required schematic symbols.

Efficient Schematic Symbol Creation

Accelerated PCB Footprint Creation

A template-based approach to footprint creation allows users to select from comprehensive list of component packages including BGA, CHIP, CHIP... ARRAY, DIP, LCC, LGA, PLCC, QFN, QFP, SOJ, and SOP. PCB footprints and land patterns are automatically built to IPC-7351 standards or can be customized by a calculator-driven GUI allowing users to input dimensions directly from component datasheets.

Accelerated PCB Footprint Creation

Automated Component Verification Checks

Eliminate library part errors with comprehensive checking and verification tools. Automated component verification checks included in OrCAD Li... brary Builder reduce manual processes during model creation, minimizing human error and increasing validation accuracy with cross-probe integration between symbols and footprints for efficient component review.
