DatasheetThe Cadence® OrCAD® PCB Designer suite contains everything needed to take a PCB design from concept to production with a fully integrated design flow–including design capture, component tools, a PCB editor, and an auto/interactive router as well as interfaces for manufacturing, and mechanical CAD. A common database architecture, use model and library offer fully scalable PCB solutions for both OrCAD and Cadence Allegro® product lines, giving you the ability to grow and expand as designs and design challenges increase in complexity. The results are increased productivity, shorter design cycles, and faster ramp up to volume production.
To stay competitive in today’s market, companies must get their designs from engineering through manufacturing with shorter design cycles. To increase their productivity, engineers need a set of powerful, intuitive, and integrated technologies that work seamlessly across the entire design flow. OrCAD PCB designer has a long history of addressing these demands.
