The Gold Standard in SPICE Simulation
PSpice
Industry-leading SPICE simulation — easily verify circuit behavior and optimize your designs. Native analog and mixed-signal analysis with the fastest simulation times, highest accuracy, and most consistent convergence.
Overview
Achieve Peak Electrical Circuit Performance
Simulate, analyze, and optimize your circuit functionality with the world's most reliable SPICE simulator. PSpice delivers a complete circuit simulation and verification solution with native analog/mixed-signal analysis — directly integrated into your schematic environment.
Document and model your circuits once. Color-coded simulation results appear directly on the schematic canvas. Find problems earlier — save the cost of debugging hardware prototypes.
Fast Simulation
Industry-leading simulation times so you iterate at the speed of thought.
Highest Accuracy
Production-proven SPICE accuracy for analog, mixed-signal, and power.
Consistent Convergence
Robust auto-convergence on difficult circuits — no manual SPICE wrangling.
Seamless Integration
Native inside OrCAD X Capture — no translations, no model setup gaps.

The PSpice Advantage
Six Capability Pillars
The gold standard in SPICE simulation — easy to use, deeply integrated, and built to optimize your designs.
Design + Sim
Seamless Environment for Design and Simulation
A single environment for both design and simulation. Document and model your circuits once — color-coded simulation results render directly on the schematic canvas.
- No translations between design and SPICE
- Bias-point results appear directly on the schematic
- Color-coded probe results next to wires & pins
- Model once, reuse across analyses
- SPICE model assignment inside the schematic
- Reduce duplication and error-prone copy-paste
- Real-time failure / warning detection
- Visual cues without leaving the schematic
- Faster decisions, no context switching
