Cadence Expands OrCAD PCB Portfolio with New Products and Technologies to Enable Faster Product Creation
Highlights:
- Latest release marks 30th anniversary of OrCAD innovation and product design
- New products offer seamless product integration, more comprehensive fabrication checks and simplified documentation methods
- Key feature updates focused on more interactive routing capability and additional high-speed design qualities
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced five new OrCAD(®) products and three key feature updates as it celebrates 30 years of continued OrCAD design and innovation. The expanded OrCAD portfolio enables greater product creation efficiency by delivering additional high-speed design capabilities that address productivity and time-to-market challenges.

The new products and key features focus on increasing designers' productivity by reducing design cycle time and facilitating more advance designs via additional high-speed capabilities.
New Products
-- OrCAD Component Information Portal provides users with CIS database
management capabilities and integrated access to parametric component
data through an interactive, web interface directly within the OrCAD
Capture CIS product
-- OrCAD DFM Checker provides a comprehensive set of
manufacturing/fabrication-centric checks for OrCAD PCB Editor. The OrCAD
DFM fabrication checks can be run at any time during PCB place and route
to help ensure that no fabrication-related issues are present, helping
designers avoid fabrication-related delays, additional costs and
re-work.
-- OrCAD Panel Editor provides an intelligent panel documentation
environment for OrCAD PCB Editor that significantly simplifies panel
creation and documentation
-- OrCAD Sigrity(TM) ERC (Electrical Rules Check) provides a comprehensive
set of electrical signal quality checks for OrCAD PCB Editor. ERCs are
designed to be run by the PCB designer as a first-order electrical
validation. This capability enables the PCB designer to make needed
changes within the design before more extensive and exhaustive analysis
is performed.
-- OrCAD Capture Constraint System enables a constraint-driven PCB design
flow for OrCAD Capture and OrCAD PCB Editor. Compared to the existing
methodology, the OrCAD Capture Constraint System substantially expands
the constraint definition and management methodology in OrCAD Capture.
New Key Technologies
-- OrCAD PCB Editor productivity improvements include Scribble Route, an
auto/interactive routing feature, which allows the user to loosely
sketch a path for a route as the system figures how to detail-route it,
as well as group and contour routing updates and via arrays
-- OrCAD PCB Professional high-speed design features now offer enhanced
differential pair constraints, propagation constraint support, delay
tuning with heads-up display support, net scheduling and impedance
constraint support
-- OrCAD Signal Explorer is being added to OrCAD Capture technology-based
products, enabling front-end signal integrity/signal quality simulation
as well as topology exploration and constraint definition. It can also
be scaled for additional signal exploration and signal integrity
capabilities through OrCAD PCB SI.

30(th) Anniversary of OrCAD
Since its introduction in 1985, OrCAD technology has been at the forefront of PC-based electronic design automation (EDA) tools with industry-leading products for schematic capture such as OrCAD Capture and PSpice® technology for circuit simulation. Over the years, OrCAD products have helped countless engineers and electronics manufacturers bring ideas to life and products to market.
"We've been partners with Cadence and OrCAD for almost thirty years. OrCAD's 30(th) anniversary is proof of its continued customer preference and leadership in technology and innovation," said Bruno Mouneimne, president of Artedas. "For example the combination of newly added high-speed design capabilities and the OrCAD Sigrity ERC product, which validates the quality of high-speed signals before sending the design off for exhaustive signal integrity analysis, enables PCB designers to tackle the challenges of today's modern, smart, connected designs, and bring innovative products to market."
"As mainstream products such as Internet of Things devices and smart consumer electronics continue to evolve, they commonly include functionalities such as high-speed memory and sophisticated serial interfaces that create new challenges for the designer," said Josh Moore, director of product marketing for OrCAD, Custom IC & PCB Group, Cadence. "With our 30th anniversary release, designers now have access to solutions that are suitable for high-speed electronic products that have more complex design requirements. For example, the new OrCAD Capture Constraint System product significantly enhances the OrCAD design flow with new high-speed constraints and rules specific to high-speed memory and sophisticated serial interfaces, allowing engineers to far more effectively communicate and drive high-speed design intent, which helps to reduce design iterations."
