He was succeeded as CEO by Michael Bosworth. Durbetaki, then CEO and head of R&D, left the company in the 1990s. Over time, OrCAD's product line broadened to include Windows-based software products to assist electronics designers in developing field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), including complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs). The flagship SDT product was soon followed with a digital simulator, VST (Verification and Simulation Tools) and printed circuit board (PCB) layout tools. In 1986, OrCAD hired Peter LoCascio to develop sales and co-founder Ken Seymour left the company. The company's first product was SDT (Schematic Design Tools), which shipped first in late 1985.
Durbetaki, who had left after five years as an engineer and project manager, decided, along with brothers Keith and Ken Seymour, to start his own company to develop add-on instrumentation for the PC.' Durbetaki began creating his own schematic capture tool for his use in the PC expansion chassis project but eventually shelved the hardware project entirely in favor of developing low-cost, PC-based CAD software. In 1984 Durbetaki began designing an expansion chassis for the.
