OrCAD Schematics TUTORIAL by Vikas Shukla of ReferenceDesigner.com

The Design Objective

The purpose of this particular tutorial is to draw a schematics of the following Circuit in OrCAD.

* This is a very simple circuit. Its functionality is to make an led D1 glow when a Power Supply is connected at the connector J1. This is a "hello world" of the Schematics Capture.

* As shown in the Schematics, the circuit uses three components

R1
J1
D1

* Each component will have an associated footprint. We have given the followint names to the footprints of the components used.

Component Footprint Name
R1 R0603_1
J1 HEADER2
D1 LED

In the next few pages we will place these three components.
