REG:DATABASE BUILD IN ORCAD & ALLEGRO

GIRISH KUMAR
Hello Friends

I would like to build a  closely integrated Database for schematic symbol & footprint in  orcad & allegro platform ..

So that  the design Engineer when doing the schematic  just call the part from the database & use it in the design  no need enter any attributes

Something like
  • Single window solution for managing the component library database
  • Option to integrate the schematic symbol, footprint and related attributes (MF part number, value etc) into one single identifier number (unique part number) which can be re used / re called in other design.
  • Visualization of part (symbol and Footprint) graphics
  • How to do version & revision control

If anybody has build the database based on this concept  please provide your tips that will  bereally helpful for me & I will thankful to you

Best Regards
Girish Kumar

    Assuming you have the software installed, you will find a lot of information available in Help.  Look for OrCAD CIS User Guide.  It will explain some details of setting up a database that will do most of what you are looking for.  We currently use Microsoft Access for our database, linking schematic symbols, footprints, part number, etc, but there are others that will work as well.  It is also possible to link the CIS database to your company's database in some cases.

    CIS uses an ODBC compliant database.  I use MS Access to manage ours, there may be others, I just don't know what they would be.

     MS Excel, MS Access and SQL Databases all work. Take a look at C:\Cadence\SPB_16.6\doc\cisug\cisug.pdf. This talks about hoe to create one. There is also a really good bolt on to CIS called CIP (look at ema-eda.com) which allows you to manage the database and add part data direct from part disributors like digikey, mouser, arrow, farnell etc.

    I would hate to use Orcad Capture without CIS.  There is an excellent library management system available with EMA-EDA's CIP system, a web-interface that quickly and easily takes information from several popular component distributors directly into your CIS database.  Their SQL table schema is brilliantly designed, including revision history.  

    Or, you can get the "CIS Quick Start" app from EMA-EDA, found in the Orcad marketplace.  It includes a 1,000 component starter library, symbols and footprints, based on their SQL schema similar to CIP.
