Vendor-supplied parts
The OrCAD libraries provide an extensive selection of
manufacturers’ analog parts. Typically, the library name
reflects the kind of parts contained in the library and the
vendor that provided the models.
Example: MOTOR_RF.OLB and MOTOR_RF.LIB contain
parts and models, respectively, for Motorola-made RF
bipolar transistors.
Part naming conventions
The part names in the OrCAD libraries usually reflect the
manufacturers’ part names. If multiple vendors supply
the same part, each part name includes a suffix that
indicates the vendor that supplied the model.
Example: The OrCAD libraries include several models for
the OP-27 opamp as shown by these entries in the online
Library List.
