Identify Orcad Schematic entry version

pautax
pautax over 1 year ago


Good morning,
I dug up an old project from 2005 and I should open the schematic to check some things.
This is the schematic of a XILINX XC95108-pq160 CPLD which the XILINX ISE 6.1 software then translated and compiled, to generate a JEDEC file to burn CPLD.

My problem is that I can't open schematics with the versions of Orcad Schematic Entry that I have.
Can anyone help me understand which version of Orcad Schematic Entry I need to install to see these files?

I copy here .sch file

VERSION 6
BEGIN SCHEMATIC
    BEGIN ATTR DeviceFamilyName "xc9500xl"
        DELETE all:0
        EDITNAME all:0
        EDITTRAIT all:0
    END ATTR
    BEGIN NETLIST
        SIGNAL sr_s0
        SIGNAL sr_range
        SIGNAL sr_s1
        SIGNAL sr_s2
        SIGNAL int_sr0060(7)
        SIGNAL int_sr0062(7)
        SIGNAL int_sr0064(7)
        SIGNAL int_sr0066(7)
        SIGNAL int_sr0068(7)
        SIGNAL int_sr0070(7)

        SIGNAL osr(7)

        SIGNAL int_sr0072(1)
        SIGNAL osr(1)
        SIGNAL int_sr0060(0)
        SIGNAL int_sr0062(0)

.....omissis.....

        IOMARKER 192 1440 sr_s0 R180 28
        BEGIN BRANCH sr_s0
            WIRE 192 1440 304 1440
        END BRANCH

        END DISPLAY
        BEGIN INSTANCE XLXI_1 3600 2800 R0

    Content of this file can only be read (text) by Orcad Capture latest versions but there is no way it will be opened as schematic, just like .dsn file.
