PSpice Optimizer is a circuit optimization program that improves the performance of analog and mixed analog/digital circuits. The PSpice Optimizer is fully integrated with other Orcad programs. This means you can design your circuit with Orcad Capture, simulate and analyze results with PSpice and optimize performance within the same environment.
