DRC error

HoRangHam
HoRangHam over 11 years ago

Hello,

I run DRC check on 1 of my design and getting an error

"ERROR:  [DRC0004]  Possible pin type conflict U4,VCC Power Connected to Output

SCHEMATIC1, P02 BUFFER CONTROLLER  (11.80, 2.20) "

And here how it connect in the schematic

  

 

I didn't get this error before. I just got it now after I edit the part in my library. What I edit was changed the pin type from "passive" to "Power" 

How do I fix this problem?

 

Thank you

    Your VCC pin is not an output type, Power or Passive or Input types would not have the DRC generated for them. Tracking the pin types from the datasheet is usually a pretty reliable approach, this is listed as Power Supply Input on the datasheet for the part so Power or Input would be a good choice for the Pin Type.

    Like I said I have this problem when I changed from "Passive" to "Power" I didn't set it to "Output"

    Try to edit the footprint and check pin options. The VCC must be passive pin. Then only it connected to the power connection directly. Thanks & regards Dhamodharan
