OrCAD Certification Included*

Course Overview: PSpice® Essentials for Simulation training builds on the design entry essentials learned in the Capture class and adds new skills to enable simulation directly from the Capture environment. This class is ideal for both new PSpice® users and experienced engineers who need to maximize the performance of their circuits. Students should have recently completed the one-day Capture Essentials class as this class builds on the schematic design foundational skills learned in that class
Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for this course.
What You Will Learn:
- Run DC bias, DC sweep, AC sweep, and transient analysis
- Edit stimulus to create any kind of input waveform
- How tolerances work and how they affect convergence
- Run sweeps using parametric analysis
- Bring models from the internet into PSpice
- Run monte carlo and worst case analysis’
- Create linear and non-linear transformers
- Model parts mathematically using ABMs (Analog Behaviour Models)
- Run digital and mixed-signal simulation
Includes an OrCAD Certification Opportunity.

Course Overview: This one-day class will cover component data management with Cadence OrCAD Capture CIS and the OrCAD Component Information Portal™ (CIP), including product interface fundamentals, automating the part introduction process, and effectively managing the part database.
Prerequisites: It is recommended that students have a pre-requisite knowledge and proficiency in OrCAD Capture Schematic editing.
What You Will Learn:
- Manage parts and symbols in a relational database
- Assign user privileges
- Track historical changes of active and legacy parts
- Manage the integrity of active and historical parts
- Use distributor searching to locate necessary parts
- Align new part introduction with corporate protocols
