Complete PCB Design Using OrCAD Capture and PCB Editor - Softcover

Complete PCB Design Using OrCAD Capture and PCB Editor, Second Edition, provides practical instruction on how to use the OrCAD design suite to design and manufacture printed circuit boards. Chapters cover how to Design a PCB using OrCAD Capture and OrCAD Layout, adding PSpice simulation capabilities to a design, how to develop custom schematic parts, how to create footprints and PSpice models, and how to perform documentation, simulation and board fabrication from the same schematic design. This book is suitable for both beginners and experienced designers, providing basic principles and the program's full capabilities for optimizing designs.

• Presents a fully updated edition on OrCAD Capture, Version 17.2
• Combines the theoretical and practical parts of PCB design
• Includes real-life design examples that show how and why designs work, providing a comprehensive toolset for understanding OrCAD software
• Provides the exact order in which a circuit and PCB are designed
• Introduces the IPC, JEDEC and IEEE standards relating to PCB design

Complete PCB Design Using OrCAD Capture and PCB Editor, now fully updated to version 17.2, provides practical instruction on how to use the OrCAD design suite to design and manufacture printed circuit boards.

The book shows how to:

• Design a PCB using OrCAD Capture and OrCAD Layout
• Add PSpice simulation capabilities to a design, and how to develop custom schematic parts, footprints and PSpice models
• Perform documentation, simulation and board fabrication from the same schematic design, ensuring continuity between the design and the manufactured product, saving time and money

Complete PCB Design Using OrCAD Capture and Layout is suitable for both the beginner, as it provides the basic principles of PCB design, and the experienced designer who wants to use the full capabilities of the software to optimize their designs.
