What is OrCAD X?

OrCAD® X represents a comprehensive platform for PCB design that enhances user experience, boosts performance, and streamlines automation. This software suite encompasses various applications such as schematic design, PCB layout, simulation, and data management. Among its offerings, OrCAD X Capture stands out as a widely used tool for creating and documenting electrical circuits. Complementing this is PSpice®, an integrated virtual SPICE simulation engine within Capture, which empowers users to prototype and validate their designs through top-tier native analog, mixed signal, and advanced analysis capabilities. Additionally, OrCAD X Presto and OrCAD X PCB editor facilitate seamless collaboration between ECAD and MCAD teams, enabling designers to produce superior PCBs more efficiently. OrCAD X Presto features a user-friendly interface tailored for novice designers as well as electrical engineers and PCB designers who prioritize rapid PCB development, making it an essential tool in today's fast-paced design environment. The combined functionalities of these applications ensure that designers can meet the evolving demands of the industry effectively.

What is Ansys Pharos?

Pharos combines the outstanding electromagnetic (EM) engine capabilities of Ansys with a dedicated high-capacity circuit simulation engine to perform coupling analyses and evaluate potential EM crosstalk aggressors for each victim node. By pinpointing the most at-risk nets, designers can focus their efforts on reducing EM crosstalk in these vital connections, which helps minimize risks during the design phase. In addition, Pharos integrates a robust extraction engine alongside an internal simulation engine to carry out thorough EM analyses and rank potential aggressors in relation to each victim net. This feature allows designers to prioritize the most critical nets in their designs effectively. As the complexity of designs increases and the variety of magnetic field interference grows, the task of identifying all susceptible victim/aggressor net pairs becomes increasingly challenging, often approaching the realm of impossibility. Therefore, Pharos proves to be an essential resource, simplifying the management of EM issues in complex electronic designs while ultimately enhancing overall design quality and reliability.

Pricing Information

$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.

Additional features and license options will affect the price.
