What is the function of OrCAD PSpice?

Contents

What is OrCAD used for?

The software is used mainly by electronic design engineers and electronic technicians to create electronic schematics, perform mixed-signal simulation and electronic prints for manufacturing printed circuit boards.

What is OrCAD and PSpice?

OrCAD® PSpice® and Advanced Analysis technology combine industry-leading, native analog, mixed-signal, and analysis engines to deliver a complete circuit simulation and verification solution.

How do you use PSpice in OrCAD?

Left-click on OK to accept the Simulation settings and close the Simulation Settings form. Then, from the menu take PSpice>Run to run the simulation. If not already enabled, left-click on the V circular icon to enable the display of the Voltage Bias values in the schematic.

What is the difference between OrCAD and PSpice?

OrCAD is the general name for the software suite that helps you design PCBs. OrCAD capture is the tool within that OrCAD suite that lets you ‘draw’ schematics. PSpice is the name given to a basic circuit interface that simulates circuit behavior using SPICE. PSpice comes installed ‘inside’ OrCAD Capture.

What does LTSpice stand for?

The Spice platform used to illustrate these concepts will be the freely available Spice program called LTSpice supplied by Analog Devices, Inc. The prefix LT before the word Spice stands for Linear Technologies; the name of the company that created this program before being acquired by Analog Devices, Inc (ADI).

What is latest version of OrCAD?

The OrCAD® 17.2-2016 release introduced new capabilities for OrCAD Capture, PSpice® Designer, and PCB Designer 17.2-2016 that address challenges with flex and rigid-flex design as well as mixed-signal simulation complexities in IoT, wearables, and wireless mobile devices.

Does PSpice work on Linux?

Pspice is not available for Linux but there are some alternatives that runs on Linux with similar functionality. The best Linux alternative is Circuit JS, which is both free and Open Source.

Is PSpice for TI free?

Yes, PSpice for TI solution is an exclusive version of PSpice analog/mixed signal simulator with OrCAD Capture available to TI customers at no cost. Click Here to download the software.

Which is better PSpice or Multisim?

They both are Spice type analog simulators. The difference is the interface and some of the advanced features. My opinion is that Multisim has an easier to use and more intuitive graphical interface.

Which is better PSpice vs LTSpice?

LTSpice is a whole other software tool that also uses SPICE to do its simulations, but uses better algorithms, methods and tricks to get simulations done faster with high accuracy than PSpice, from my experience. I prefer using LTSpice for power electronics switching since it’s often faster than OrCAD Capture’s PSpice.

How do you use PSpice for circuit analysis?

To use PSpice, start with the PSpice Schematics program. When you start up you will get a screen which looks like this: To put in a component, use the Draw drop-down menu, and select Get new part (or use the shortcut Ctrl-G). This will bring up a dialog box which will allow you to select pats from libraries.
