How to drive many pins using a single driver?

 Hello All,

Assuming there are 10 input pins in a schematic view need to be set at either 0 or vdd. Is there any way to set them using a signle vdc?, or 10 independent dc supplies are necessary for such a test?

 

Thanks,

A

    If I understand correctly, you can use (e.g "wire name" command from "Add" menu in schematic editor) net name vdd to your 5V source and vss/gnd! for 0V/gnd source. And then use corresponding net names to the 10 input pins that you have referred. ( There is another easy way if you name all the 10 inputs as a bus say input and then you can even use net name separated by commas as for e.g vss,vss,vdd,vss,vdd,vdd,vdd,vdd,vdd,vss ...assuming that is the sequence for you 10 input signals).
