Introduction to CADENCE ORCAD CAPTURE CIS

Cadence OrCAD Capture CIS integrates robust schematic design capabilities with the features of a component information system (CIS) for fast, universal PCB design entry. The added capabilities of a CIS provide easy access to component databases and part information. This boosts productivity by reducing the amount of time spent researching for or reusing existing parts, manually entering part information, and maintaining component data. Whether used for designing a new analog, digital, or mixed-signal circuit, revising schematic diagrams for an existing PCB, or implementing hierarchical block design, OrCAD Capture CIS delivers everything needed to take circuit design from concept to production.

SCHEMATIC EDITOR The flat and hierarchical Schematic Page Editor of OrCAD Capture CIS combines an intuitive interface with the features and functionality needed to speed design tasks and facilitate circuit creation. For larger, more complex designs, OrCAD Capture CIS supports multi-sheet and hierarchical designs. It also makes hierarchical designs easy to traverse and ensures that all connections are maintained accurately throughout the design. Seamless interfaces establish robust data paths and integration with OrCAD PCB Editor for physical PCB design and with Cadence PSpice A/D for analog/digital circuit simulation. Seamless bi-directional integration with OrCAD PCB Editor enables synchronization and crossprobing/placing between the schematic and the board, and automated engineering change orders (ECOs) backannotate layout changes, gate/pin swaps, and changes to component names or values.

COMPONENT INFORMATION SYSTEM The component information system (CIS) is a central part of the OrCAD design entry solution. It automatically synchronizes and validates the externally sourced data with the schematic design database. CIS works with any database that complies with Microsofts ODBC standard to directly access data in an MRP, ERP, or PLM system, or in an intermediate database dedicated to engineering component data. With easy access to component databases and part information, designers can reduce the amount of time spent researching parts. CIS allows users to identify,

utilize, and design with preferred components. Parts can be queried based on their electrical, physical, or corporate characteristics, and then be automatically retrieved for use in the schematic. Adding components directly from company databases minimizes errors in bills of materials (BOMs) and parts lists, and allows control of part usage for industry directives such as RoHS and WEEE. Electrical part tables can be related to vendor part tables, allowing relational database support and relational queries. CIS also features the Internet Component Assistant (ICA) for accessing component information in online databases. As with corporate database access, online parts can be queried based on electrical, physical, or manufacture characteristics, and automatically retrieved for the schematic. The free Cadence ActiveParts online electronic database, accessible through ICA, contains more than 2 million parts. With ActiveParts, users can search for and select parts based on specific criteria, and preview parts before placing them in a schematic. Users have direct access to additional part supplier databases through ICA.

BENEFITS Offers full-featured schematic editing for fast, intuitive design capture Boosts efficiency in schematic editing of complex designs through hierarchical and variant design capabilities Accelerates the design process and lowers project costs by integrating with a robust CIS that promotes preferred, current parts Increases design productivity through auto-zoom/search/navigation features, crossprobing and cross-placement with PCB Editor, and integration with PSpice A/D Reduces time spent researching parts and enables intelligent component selection with access to MRP, ERP, and PLM data and support for relational databases Offers greater flexibility when choosing design components and easier access to direct vendor part data with ActiveParts and the ActiveParts Portal, which provides access to more than two million parts Automates the integration of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and programmable logic devices (PLDs) with a bi-directional data flow through FPGA export/import, thereby reducing design time
