Based on the appropriate reference,what is OrCAD
software(definition ,function and the related
industry)?
Definition
The name OrCAD is a portmanteau, reflecting the software's
origins: Oregon + CAD.
The OrCAD product line is fully owned by Cadence Design Systems.
The latest iteration has the ability
to maintain a database of available integrated circuits. This
database may be updated by the user by
downloading packages from component manufacturers, such as
Analog Devices or Texas
Instruments. Another announcement was, that ST Microelectronics
will offer OrCAD PSpice models
for all the power and logic semiconductors, since PSpice is the
most used circuit simulator. Intel
offers reference PCBs designed with Cadence PCB Tools in the
OrCAD Capture format for embedded
and personal computers.
Function
OrCAD is a proprietary software tool suite used primarily for
electronic design automation. Thesoftware is used mainly to create
electronic prints for manufacturing ofprinted circuit boards,
by electronic design engineers and electronic technicians to
manufacture electronic schematics.
Related Industry
About a year ago (~2007) Orcad discontinued their Orcad Layout
product. The acquired the Allegro
pcb design products and rebranded them as OrCad PCB Designer.
While I wouldnt call their new
offering the industry standard is has a very loyal following and
is one of the most power autorouting
packages available.
There is no doubt in any ones mind who the de-facto industry
standard is for circuit simulation. P-
Spice can simulate complex mixed signal designs and supports a
wide range of of simulation models
available from many of todays part manufacturers.
PSpice is great for figuring out which component is going to let
out the magic smoke first,
determining component yields via Monte Carlo analysis, or
determining if your circuit is actually
going to meet your performance requirements.

Discussion
From the above result we can say that the output is all remain
constant. Each output has its constantvalue. All outputs are
maintained at the value of 7-9 volts. We also managed to analyze
the circuit by
observing the graph produced. The voltage, current, and
transient analysis can be get by using the
parameters. We managed to get know the parts and symbol and
comparing the result from the
graph we obtained.
Conclusion
From this experiment 2 we know the voltage drops and current
flow by drawing the schematic after
the simulation.in additional we know how to use VIEWPOINT and
IPROBE. We also had managed to
get the function of an OrCAD software. It is a software that has
been used to draw a complex circuit
with enough horse power to run it. It helps alot the engineer to
analyze and getting a suitable circuit
before it is being made. It is a suitable software to be used in
industrial area to help engineers on
their circuits.
