Layout jumper

archive

Hi All,
 
I have design a single side PCB on Allegro 15.7. Some times it was necessary to implement a SMD Jumper for jumping over other signals. I have place this jumpers on the schematic (design entry CIS) and connected bode pins of the jumper to the same signal.
It works, but I have a small cosmetic problem, for each jumper I placed, I get on the Layout guide (open connection).
Does some one know if there is a possibility to design a library symbol with two pins that can be automatically connected to the same potential?
 
Thanks in advance
 
Gustavo

  • Not sure if this will help but you can add net short property for the part pins in OrCAD Capture. The name of the property is NET_SHORT and the value is the name of the two nets separated by colon i.e. GND:AGND. Let us know if this works for you? Oh, and make sure that this property gets included in the netlist by adding the property (name) in the netprops section of allegro.cfg when generating the Allegro netlist. I think you can also add the property on to a pin in Allegro.

  • Thanks for the sugestion,

     

    The NET_SHORT property is not what I need. This property works very fine if you need a star point (i.e. AGND:DGND) so it is possible to connect both signals to the same pin without DRC problem, but it dos not work with a jumper (zero ohm resistor) which both terminals are connected to the same net

  • Try the "No"RAT" property and see if it is what you are wanting.

  • I mean "NO_RAT"

  • Hi,

     

    Thanks for that input, the NO_RAT function is applicable always to the entire net. Do you know if there is a possibility to use these function for a component only?

    For the moment it seems to be an applicable solution before I do the post process.


    Thanks
