OrCAD

Electronics

APPLICATIONSOrCAD is widely used in most of the

manufacturing industries

Mainly it is used in PCB manufacturing

Apart from this OrCAD is used in the manufacturing of each and every electronic goods.

Design of PCB board layoutIt is used mainly in designing PCB board

The ORCAD layouts are converted to MicroSim PCBoards

Footprint and padstack libraries from

PCBoards cannot be translated for use with layout

Design of PCB board layoutThere is no loss of accuracy in the

translation process

Certain design data cannot be translated and carried over completely from one program to the other

OrCAD Layout Plus provides the proprietary autorouter SmartRoute

To Design Quadrature Down converter Controller(QDC) Board

The GALFA Quadrature Downconverter Controller (QDC) interfaces the GALFA spectrometer computer and the analog QDC boards

The GALFA spectrometer computer will sense thepower level at the output

The QDC board is designed to regulate and supply power up to 16 analog QD boards.

DESIGN TRENDS and EDA TOOLS Mostly used in the manufacture of

semiconductors.

In china and Taiwan most electronic goods are prepared by using OrCAD.

IC design is a custom-based methodology generally used for large-volume standard ICs
