This week’s Working with OrCAD video, Cross Section, will discuss how OrCAD can help you review design specs and determine physical requirements (i.e. controlled impedance, high voltage nets, high amperage nets, etc.) which can help you work more efficiently with your manufacturer to come up with a cost-efficient stack up or build. The video will also cover two different ways to enter the stack up information into your design either by manually entering the information into the setup cross-section dialog or via the IPC2581 standard— these methods help ensure your designs are accurate and can be repeatedly produced correctly.

Automation sounds good in theory. Think of all the time you could save with auto-routers… if only you could maintain control. That’s what makes auto-interactive routing so powerful. You’re in complete control of the big picture and the important details, but all that stuff in between is taken care of.

Sigrity technologists guide you step by step on how to use the Sigrity Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulator to accurately predict the impact of simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in a system context. A PCB layout is directly connected to a system topology without having to perform an S-parameter extraction. This “FDTD-direct” methodology overcomes the challenge faced by SI engineers who fear accuracy could be compromised when converting an S-parameter to a simplified broadband spice model.
