Why should you use extra tools with OrCAD? You already know how to use Cadence OrCAD, PSpice and Allegro, but PCB Library Expert gives you the boost you need to get a project done in near half the time it would take with just Allegro’s Package Symbol Wizard. PSpice WEBENCH® Designer. WEBENCH tools use the latest component models, and easily export design files to the Cadence OrCAD environment. In addition, with the Simulation Export option in the WEBENCH tool suite you can instantly take their dynamically created, proven designs into Cadence Allegro for fast and easy simulation.
What is PSpice Schematics?
PSpice is a SPICE analog circuit and digital logic simulation program for Microsoft Windows. The name is an acronym for Personal SPICE, and SPICE itself being an acronym for Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis. During its development, PSpice has evolved into an analog mixed signal simulator. The software, which is now developed towards more complex industry requirements, is integrated into the complete systems design flow in OrCAD or Candence Allegro. It includes features such as an analysis of a circuit with automatic optimization, encryption, a model editor, support for parametrized models, auto-convergence, and checkpoint restart, several internal solvers, a magnetic part editor, and support for Tabrizi core model for non-linear cores.
The program SPICE 2 includes two types – Mainframe version, and personal computer (PC) version. Though the method of computation may differ between the two, but their features are almost identical. The main – frame versions include H-Spice, which is designed for integrated circuits with special device models, IG-Spice, which is designed for interactive circuit simulation with a graphic output, and RAD-Spice, which is for simulating circuits that are subjected to ionizing radiation Accu Sim (Mentor graphics), etc.

PSpice is a simulator that analyzes the behavior of a virtual circuit board, using the Smoke method to detect the components that could be at risk due to overstress, and the Monte Carlo method to determine how the components perform, thus preventing any board failure.
Furthermore, it includes advanced simulation technology that will allow all users to save plenty of time and get more reliable results when working with large designs.
If you need a tool to simulate how an analog or mixed-signal circuit board behaves, download PSpice and try it out.
