Description
OrCAD® X is a unified PCB design software platform. It offers significant improvements to ease of use, performance and automation. Our product suite includes applications for schematic, PCB layout, simulation and data management. OrCAD X Capture, a schematic design solution for electrical circuit creation and documentation, is one of OrCAD's most popular products. PSpice®, our virtual SPICE simulation engine integrated into Capture, allows you to prototype and verify your designs using industry-leading native analog, mixed signal, and advanced analysis engines. OrCAD X Presto and OrCAD X PCB editor are two PCB layout tools that allow designers to easily collaborate between ECAD/MCAD teams and build better PCBs faster. OrCAD X Presto is our new, simplified interface for novice designers, electrical engineers and PCB designers focused on quick turn PCB designs.
Description
Trace is an innovative PCB design platform tailored for hardware teams, guiding them from initial concept to a fully manufactured board. It integrates advanced schematic capture and PCB layout tools with smart agents that comprehend the context of hardware design. Users can articulate their project requirements in natural language, enabling Trace to conduct thorough research, produce complex multi-sheet schematics, interpret datasheets, recommend components, verify their availability in real time, arrange parts, route multi-layer boards, optimize matched-length signals, and perform essential checks like ERC and DRC along with design reviews. With a comprehensive library boasting over 30,000 symbols and footprints, the platform sources data from leading electronic distributors. Additionally, Plan Mode delves into intricate tasks, poses clarifying questions, devises a detailed action plan, and initiates execution only after receiving user approval. Moreover, TraceRules ensures that preferences regarding components, layout restrictions, and manufacturing objectives are consistently maintained throughout user interactions, facilitating a smoother design process. This comprehensive approach not only enhances efficiency but also streamlines collaboration within hardware teams.

Pricing Details
$107 USD/month
OrCAD X is offered in both term and perpetual licensing. Term licensing is based on a 12 month period and reduces the upfront product cost while providing access to all services. It includes support, software updates, and OrCAD X Cloud subscription. Perpetual licensing has a higher upfront cost, but allows indefinite use of the purchased version. It includes the first year of maintenance which covers support, software updates, and OrCAD X Cloud subscription. Unlike a term license maintenance must be maintained to provide continual access to support, software updates, and access to new product versions.
