OrCAD™ Capture CIS™ Lite

Yesterday I formatted my computer and has now finished installing all the softwares I want.

When I installed Cadence® OrCAD™ Lite, it also installed OrCAD™ Capture CIS™ Lite product.

I just now opened a sample design file in OrCAD™ Capture CIS™ Lite and it was a sample design by Intel®.

Here is what I know of processor and IC(Integrated Circuit) design.

OrCAD™ Lite is for educational and hobbyist users. You can design a processor on your own but no fabrication plant (or fab) will manufacture just one or two processors because that will be very inconvenient.

Intel® might use OrCAD™ as a side software for training purposes for new staff but they probably use their own processor design software.There are many companies and individual engineers who use OrCAD™ professionally to design electronics / microelectronics systems.

Hundreds of processes is involved when we can have a single processor chip.Silicon is used as the main ingredients and on a single die billions of transistors are interconnected in different layers.Silicon wafer in 200 mm slices are cut into individual processors in Fabs.

Software's like OrCAD™ is used to design the chips and the manufacturing equipment puts the designs in to volume production.

These are the very first days I am using Cadence® products in my life...

Cadence® OrCAD™ Lite

It took me one full day and night to finally complete this work...I just now finished installing Cadence® OrCAD™ Lite 17.2 which was released in 2016 and is the most stable free version of OrCAD™.

I wanted a CAD(Computer Aided Design) software specifically targeted for electronics.

AutoCAD™ by Autodesk® is widely used in Maldives for mostly civil,electrical,and mechanical engineering drawings.It's also widely used by architects in Maldives for building drawings. But I wanted a software which is used for EDA (Electronic Design Automation) only.

OrCAD™ is written in C/C++ and developed by Cadence® Design Systems,Inc a leading U.S. company specializing in electronics / microelectronics software for PCB(Printed Circuit Boards), SoC (Silicon on Chips), and many other design tools.

OrCAD™ Lite is the free version with full functionality for PCB and has PSpice™ Lite product by Cadence®.
