Complete PCB Design Using OrCad Capture and Layout

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.

• Now fully updated to OrCAD Capture Version 17.2
• Combines the theoretical and practical parts of PCB design
• Includes real life design examples that show how and why the designs work, providing a comprehensive toolset for understanding the OrCAD software
• Information is presented in the exact order a circuit and PCB are designed
• Introduction to the IPC, JEDEC, and IEEE standards relating to PCB design
• Full-color interior and extensive illustrations allow readers to learn features of the product in the most realistic manner possible
