OrCAD® Component Information System (CiS)
provides easy access to your company’s component databases and part information.
Seamlessly integrated within OrCAD Capture, OrCAD CIS greatly enhances the part selection and verification process and significantly boosts your productivity by reducing the amount of time spent researching for parts or reusing existing parts, eliminating manual entry of part information, and maintaining synchronization of component data
Corporate Data Management
Integrated into corporate databases, you can automatically synchronize and validate externally sourced component data with the schematic design database, thereby eliminating manual data entry and guesswork.
Select the best
It solves a critical problem for your engineering teams by quickly and easily selecting the best component available, based on both the technical AND business parameters critical for success.
Part Query
The parts you need in the design can be queried based on their electrical, physical, or corporate characteristics, allowing you to identify, utilize, and design with preferred components, which can then be automatically retrieved for use in the schematic.
BOM Variants
Quickly build BOM variants based on a parent schematic. Global changes can be applied in seconds and exports to Excel and Crystal Reports. On the schematic canvas, substituted and/ or unplaced components within each assembly are displayed through graphical indicators for easy reference
Preferred Parts
Promote the use of company preferred components to help meet corporate initiatives and goals. For example, without access to cost or corporate initiative information during the design stage, it’s easy to introduce higher-priced parts and miss the opportunity to use equivalent lower-cost substitutes from the same or alternate supplier.
Open Architecture Platform
Enabling an extensible and customizable design environment, the OrCAD open architecture platform incorporates a highly integrated Tcl/HTML5 programming infrastructure that allows the creation or enhancement of features, functionality, design capabilities, and flows.
