Orcad 9.1
Dear Nandulal & Praveen,I have found a solution for conversion of schematics from ORCAD 16.3 TO 9.2 VERSION.First in ORCAD 16.3, go to 'FILE', then 'EXPORT DESIGN'. Convert the schematics to.edf format in orcad 16.3Later take the converted.edf file to orcad 9.2 andgo to 'FILE' then 'IMPORT DESIGN'. In 'OPEN', Select the converted.edf file of 16.3 version and In 'Save As'give the name for.dsn file name(preferably same file name). Give 'OK'.You will get a error message, ignore it.
You will get the converted file of version 9.2.Regards,MADHAVA.M. QUOTE=Nandulal;840972Dear All,Initially I'm using Orcad 9.2 for schematics then we moved to Orcad 16.3. But we have some issues with Orcad 16.3.Now we want to convert schematics drawn in ver 16.3 to ver 9.2. Is there any way to do it?Plz help.RegardsI tried almost all possible combinations based on various suggestions about this topic, and I finally succeeded to convert a rathercomplex, 9 page hierarchical design from Capture 16.3 to 9.2. I had hundreds of failed attempts and one success.
Here it is:1. Open Design Resources, Right click on Library, add a project library with the name and path of your choice.2. Right click on Design Cache - Cleanup Cache.2. Right click on each component in the Design Cache, Copy.3. Right click on Your Library, Paste.4.
Repeat the process for all components in the Design Cache.5. Close your project.6. Select File - Open - Library - Your Library.7. Select File - Save As - Capture 16.28. Open Capture 16.2. Believe it or not, you can load the 16.2 Library.
Save As 9.2 Library9. Go back to Capture 16.3 (or higher). Open your design.In theory, you should be able to Save As Capture 16.2 and load it into 9.2.It did not work for me, I was getting error messages.
The only way to avoid it was to transfer one page at a time.Better than re-drawing it. Here is the process:Open a new design. Go to the design to be converted. Select the first page. Copy.Go to the new design. Save As 16.2.Go to Capture 9.2.
Load the just-saved design. Save As 9.2Repeat this process for each page in your design.Hope it works for you.
17.2/ October 2016Written inC/C(originally )ProprietaryWebsiteOrCAD Systems Corporation was a software company that made OrCAD, a proprietary software tool suite used primarily for (EDA). 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. OrCAD was taken over by in 1999 and was integrated with since 2005.The name OrCAD is a portmanteau, reflecting the company and its software's origins: Oregon +. Contents.Company Founded in 1985 by John Durbetaki, Ken and Keith Seymour as 'OrCAD Systems Corporation' in Hillsboro, Oregon, the company became a supplier of desktop electronic design automation (EDA) software. In 1984 Durbetaki began designing an expansion chassis for the. Durbetaki, who had left after five years as an engineer and project manager, decided, along with brothers Keith and Ken Seymour, to start his own company to develop add-on instrumentation for the PC. Durbetaki began creating his own schematic capture tool for his use in the PC expansion chassis project; but eventually shelved the hardware project entirely in favor of developing low-cost, PC-based CAD software.
The company's first product was SDT (Schematic Design Tools) for, which shipped first in late 1985.In 1986, OrCAD hired Peter LoCascio to develop sales and co-founder Ken Seymour left the company. The flagship SDT product was soon followed with a digital simulator, VST (Verification and Simulation Tools) and printed circuit board (PCB) layout tools.Over time, OrCAD's product line broadened to include -based software products to assist electronics designers in developing (FPGAs), including (CPLDs). In 1991, Durbetaki, then CEO and head of R&D, left the company. He was succeeded as CEO by Michael Bosworth.In June 1995, OrCAD acquired Massteck Ltd., a small company that offered a printed circuit board layout tool and a sophisticated autorouter, and, OrCAD's distributor in Japan.
In 1996, OrCAD made a public offering.In late 1997 and early 1998, OrCAD and MicroSim Corporation merged, a business combination that ultimately proved to be disappointing. MicroSim has been a supplier of PC-based analog and mixed-signal simulation software for designing printed circuit board systems.On 16 July 1999, the company and its products were acquired by former competitor.OrCAD Layout has been discontinued.
The latest iteration of OrCAD CIS schematic capture software 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 and others.
Another announcement was that will offer OrCAD PSpice models for all the power and logic semiconductors, since PSpice is the most used circuit simulator. Offers reference PCBs designed with Cadence PCB Tools in the OrCAD Capture format for embedded and personal computers.Products OrCAD is a suite of products for PCB Design and analysis that includes a schematic editor , an analog/mixed-signal circuit simulator and a PCB board layout solution (PCB Designer Professional).OrCAD Capture OrCAD Capture is a application, and part of the OrCAD circuit design suite.Unlike, Capture does not contain in-built simulation features, but exports data to the simulator, OrCAD EE. Capture can also export a hardware description of the circuit schematic to or, and netlists to circuit board designers such as OrCAD Layout, Allegro, and others.Capture includes a component information system (CIS), that links component package footprint data or simulation behavior data, with the circuit symbol in the schematic.Capture includes a scripting functionality that allows users to write scripts, that allow customization and automation. Any task performed via the GUI may be automated by scripts.The OrCAD Capture Marketplace enables customers to share and sell add-ons and design resources. Such add-ons can customize the design environment and add features and capabilities.Capture can interface with any database which complies with 's standard etc. Data in an, or system can be directly accessed for use during component decision-making process.OrCAD EE PSpice OrCAD EE PSpice is a application for simulation and verification of analog and mixed-signal circuits.
PSpice is an acronym for Personal Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis.OrCAD EE typically runs simulations for circuits defined in OrCAD Capture, and can optionally integrate with /, using the Simulink to PSpice Interface (SLPS). OrCAD Capture and PSpice Designer together provide a complete circuit simulation and verification solution with schematic entry, native analog, mixed signal, and analysis engines.PSpice was a modified version of the academically developed SPICE, and was commercialized by MicroSim in 1984. MicroSim was purchased by OrCAD a decade later in 1998.OrCAD PSpice Designer is available in two options: PSpice Designer and PSpice Designer Plus.OrCAD PSpice Designer includes OrCAD Capture and OrCAD PSpice solution. Main article:The type of simulation performed by PSpice depends on the source specifications and control statements. PSpice supports the following types of analyses:. DC Analysis - for circuits with time–invariant sources (e.g. Steady-state DC sources).
It calculates all nodal voltages and branch currents over a range of values. Supported types include Linear sweep, Logarithmic sweep, and Sweep over List of values. Transient Analysis - for circuits with time variant sources (e.g., sinusoidal sources/switched DC sources). It calculates all nodal voltages and branch currents over a time interval and their instantaneous values are the outputs. AC Analysis - for small signal analysis of circuits with sources of varying frequencies. It calculates the magnitudes and phase angles of all nodal voltages and branch currents over a range of frequencies.The operating temperature of an analysis can be set to any desired value, and nodal parameters are assumed to be measured at a nominal temperature, by default 27 °C.PSpice User Communityis a PSpice User Community, an open platform dedicated to PSpice Spice circuit simulation discussions.
It is a web portal with access to resources for all things related to PSpice circuit simulator. Users can find datasheets, application notes, tutorials, videos, and also information about regional PSpice training events and webinars. PSpice web portal provides extensive model library of more than 33,000 PSpice models which are also easily available with the PSpice Lite Download.PSpice Lite version, which can be used by students comes with full functionality of the software, limited only by size and complexity.OrCAD PCB Designer OrCAD PCB Designer is a designer application, and part of the OrCAD circuit design suite.
