Connect IC to High Pin Count Connector

jritter

Hi all,

as a beginner in Cadence Tools i am searching for help.

I have to connect several chips (80 Pins) to several different HPC connectors ( 450 pins, ~1500total). The mapping is given. Is there any way to easily do that, e.g. with an  excel sheet or so?

Best regards

Julian

    Since Orcad does not seem to support SKILL , TCL could be an option. Is there a way to find pins of an instance and connect them in a loop with a wire to another instance pin? It is really hard to find any documentation.

    Look for OrCAD_Capture_TclTk_Extensions.pdf at <Installation_dir>\tools\capture\tclscripts\. It covers almost all commands related to Capture's TCL APIs.
