OrCAD Product Suites

OrCAD products are available in convenient suites tailored to address specific design tasks of both PCB designers and electrical engineers. The packages offer high performance and are complete integrated solutions. At the same time they deliver the best economy in investment and in maintenance.

OrCAD products have a unique scalability which means that when the requirements for more advanced features arise, you can easily migrate to the Cadence Allegro® platform which uses the same user interface and database; this also means that the two environments can be easily mixed.
