OrCAD EE typically runs simulations for circuits defined in OrCAD Capture, and can optionally integrate with MATLAB/Simulink, using the Simulink to PSpice Interface (SLPS). PSpice is an acronym for Personal Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis. OrCAD EE PSpice is a SPICE circuit simulator application for simulation and verification of analog and mixed-signal circuits.

Data in an MRP, ERP, or PDM system can be directly accessed for use during component decision-making process. Such add-ons can customize the design environment and add features and capabilities.Ĭapture can interface with any database which complies with Microsoft's ODBC standard etc. The OrCAD Capture Marketplace enables customers to share and sell add-ons and design resources. Any task performed via the GUI may be automated by scripts. Capture can also export a hardware description of the circuit schematic to Verilog or VHDL, and netlists to circuit board designers such as OrCAD Layout, Allegro, and others.Ĭapture includes a component information system (CIS), that links component package footprint data or simulation behavior data, with the circuit symbol in the schematic.Ĭapture includes a TCL/TK scripting functionality that allows users to write scripts, that allow customization and automation.

Unlike NI Multisim, Capture does not contain in-built simulation features, but exports netlist data to the simulator, OrCAD EE. OrCAD Capture is a schematic capture application, and part of the OrCAD circuit design suite.
