Just like the editing in the Microsoft Word, you can cut, copy and paste your electronic parts by right clicking and choosing CutCut, Copy and Paste.ħ. You can use selection filter to specify your selection area and objects for your edition.Ħ. In the process of schematic design editing, there is a Selection Filter as long as you right click on the blank of schematic editing window.

You can choose the right part to connect your circuit. On the vertical bars on the right, there are different types of editing tools including wires, power, GND and more for your selection.

Right click the part, and you can make it rotated and its direction changed.Ĥ. After choosing the right parts, you can pull them on your schematic editor window and put them at any place as you wish. On the right there is a Place Part window where you can choose the suitable Libraries and then all the parts will appear in the Part list as your selection.ģ. When schematic page editor window appears, you can start to draw your schematic design on it. Create a new project by filling in a new and choose mission type in the New Project window.Ģ. It is intended for training purposes only.1. Parallel Systems accepts no responsibility for the design, IP or physical products made from this design. Note: This circuit and associated notes are provided for reference only without any assurance of practical application. The circuit is shown prepared for simulation with PSpice and with the Header connectors for PCB Layout. Here is a picture of the completed circuit of the headphone amplifier example: We think we have succeeded, so please start here and work your way through.

it must start from a blank schematic, simulate that circuit and end with a finished PCB design.

it must only take a couple of hours to complete.

it must be simple enough for a new user.

it must cover the basics of OrCAD Capture, PSpice and PCB Editor.

it must be possible to complete with the free 30 day evaluation license.

It is intended to cover the fundamentalsĪs a consequence, this tutorial has to fit within these requirements Whilst the Cadence OrCAD and Allegro tools are designed to solve the most complex of engineering challenges, those features will not be looked at in this tutorial.

Parallel Systems has produced a simple tutorial to help new users get an understanding of the functionality of the OrCAD software for schematic entry, circuit simulation and PCB layout.
