User manual CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS CADENCE ORCAD CAPTURE CIS TECH BRIEF

[. . . ] With easy access to component databases and part information, designers can reduce the amount of time spent researching parts. CIS allows users to identify, utilize, and design with preferred components. Parts can be queried based on their electrical, physical, or corporate characteristics, and then be automatically retrieved for use in the schematic. [. . . ] The key to the system is an embedded part selector that accesses information stored within corporate MRP or ERP systems and engineering databases. CIS synchronizes the externally sourced data with the schematic design database, automatically generating accurate BOMs. Through efficient management of a CIS within a PCB design process, users can eliminate production delays and lower costs. OrCAD Capture CIS can also reduce or eliminate a number of potential problems: 4 www. cadence . c o m · Board rework due to incorrect component data - A simple task such as changing the wattage on a resistor without changing the corresponding footprint and part number can cause a mismatch between the schematic, PCB layout, and BOM. Such an out-of-sync design can easily trigger an expensive, unnecessary board turn. · Production delays caused by out-of-stock parts - Inadvertently identifying and utilizing an obsolete component or an item with a long lead-time or incorrect supplier can cause an unplanned, costly delay. All too often, these problems aren't discovered until the product is on the verge of being manufactured. · Higher-than-anticipated component costs - Without access to cost information during the design stage, it's easy to introduce high-priced parts and miss the opportunity to use equivalent lower-cost substitutes from the same or alternate supplier. · High inventory costs due to duplicate parts - Redundant parts are often introduced into the inventory system when functionally equivalent parts are already available and in stock. OrCAD Capture CIS is developed within the industry-standard schematic package of OrCAD Capture as a simple extension of the part selection process. It solves a critical problem for engineering organizations: selecting the best component available, based on both technical and business information, is accessible to engineers on a daily basis. · Promotethereuseofcompanypreferredcomponents · Reuseknowngoodpartdata · Quicklyintroducenewpartsintotheapprovalprocess · Ensuredesigndataintegritybyleveragingpartpropertyvalidation · HaveconfidenceintheaccuracyandcompletenessofBOMsandnetlists · Enableelectronicsharingofinformationwithpurchasing, manufacturing, andotherdepartments to eliminate delays and surprises and reduce product costs PROJECT MANAGER OrCADCaptureCISallowsyoutomanagetheentiredesignusingasophisticatedproject management system.
