xnets not generated properly

archive
archive over 17 years ago

I'm using 15.7 and I have resistor networks 0603x4. I'm not able to properly generate xnets through these resistors. Is there such an issue or I'm not doing it properly?

    First thing to check with xnet generation is the models create/assigned to the discrete devices - make sure the Res Pack has a espice model assigned to it. Res Pack models do not get created automatically when using the auto setup or auto generate button (back-end or front-end), so they need to be created seperately.

    make sure the Res Pack is of CLASS = DISCRETE, and the pins are PIN_TYPE=UNSPEC

    so how do I choose or create an espice model for my resistor packs?

    I think I figure it out.
    This is a sample of my resistor pack model.

    ("RESNETX4_RNX4_68_68"
    ("ESpice"
    ".subckt RESNETX4_RNX4_68_68 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    R1 1 2 68
    R2 3 4 68
    R3 5 6 68
    R4 7 8 68
    .ends RESNETX4_RNX4_68_68
    ")
    ("PinConnections"
    ("1" "2")
    ("2" "1")
    ("3" "4")
    ("4" "3")
    ("5" "6")
    ("6" "5")
    ("7" "8")
    ("8" "7")
    )
    )

    I guess you are using Allegro PCB and not DEHDL (schematic)?

    Easiest way to create a Espice model for the Res Packs in Allegro PCB is to to use:-

    Analyze->SI/EMI Sim->Model (if using XL or SI Model Setup from Tools->Setup Advisor)
    Click on RefDes Pins tab
    Find the Res Pack and select it
    Click on Create Model and create a Espice model

    I tried that, but then when I looked at the output I realized that something went wrong.
    What it did it created all the possible combination on the resistor pack. I just needed the combinations like 1-2 and 2-1. I don't know if that makes sense. Either way thanks for your help.
