Help drawing symbols with Concept

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by Stéphane Acounis, Apr 15, 2004.

  1. Hello,

    I am a new Concept PSD151 user and I need help with symbols conception.

    I want to create a symbol, a voltage regulator which has 6 output pins.
    This symbol must have only one output pin representated but the definition
    must contain the other 5 pins (which must not appear on the screen).

    Is it possible? If so, how?

    Thank you.

    Define the six pins as vectors in the chips.prt file, then assign the vectored
    signal name to a single body pin in the symbol, and assign the individual
    vector bits to the physical pins in your footprint.

    No pin numbers will appear on the symbol when you instantiate it, of course
    (dad was right: you can't have your cake and eat it, too ;-) because you'll
    only have the single visible pin at that level.

    If the signal (voltage?) you attach has been defined as global, you shouldn't
    even need a replication symbol to wire your vectored pin up...
