BOM denied. Redesign required. Dreaded words to any engineering team. Obsolete parts, RoHS / REACH compliance issues, inadequate stock, almost every engineer has been bitten by one of these issues at some point. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. Join EMA Design Automation and SiliconExpert to learn about the common causes of BOM rejection and how to prevent these issues in the future. As they say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Manually adding fillets and teardrops can add weeks to your design. And allowing a board house to add them after design completion, will leave you unaware of effects on your board. By automating this process and adhering to predefined constraint rules, you can save time and ensure your design intent is unchanged. OrCAD helps you do this with Dynamic Shape Fillets. Simply set the required parameters for the teardrops or fillets. Highlight the selection of pins or vias and OrCAD PCB Designer automatically creates the shapes.

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.

Ideally what engineers want is a blend of virtual and physical prototyping—something possible in PSpice. Since many IoT innovators use inexpensive development boards to develop their idea, I thought it would be instructive to show how one can develop new hardware in OrCAD® and PSpice, then integrate the simulation with real sensors driven by an Arduino board.
