Hello,

I'm using the full suit of ORCAD 17.2.
I have designed a circuit of temperature sensors using 2 MAX devices. I have downloaded into ORCAD CAPTURE those 2 MAX devices symbols
and used them in the design. but when i try to create a NETLIST (under PSpice --> Create Netlist) in order to upload it into the ALLEGRO PCB Editor
i get some errors :
INI File Location:C:\Cadence\SPB_Data\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture/17.2.0/Capture.ini

These errors prevent me from continuing the PCB design.
I also get green circles above almost every part in the schematic.
the electrical schematic is attached to this post.


thanks in advance.

 

Why are you trying to create a pspice netlist when you want to go to allegro? First of all, your design should be Schematic, not Pspice analog or mixed A/D when creating the project, if you don´t plan to simulate it, but that probably doesn´t matter much.
A netlist for PCB is done like this: select the .dsn file in your project, then go to Tools- Create netlist, then check the Create or update pcb... checkbox.
Also, you will have to fill in all the footprints in the parts properties if they are not filled in already.

 

Alright thank you , i have converted it into a schematic document .
i have a part that missing a footprint how can i add its footprint?
the part is a PCB connector 1751248 of PHeonix Contacts .

 

Unless you are lucky enough to find it at phoenix contacts website or elsewhere you will have to draw it by yourself.

 

how do i draw it and add it to the proprties of the component?
Pheonix offers a picture of this footprint

 

Best way is to open some existing footprint that is similar to what you want and edit it. You can find them in the install directory of orcad in .\share\pcb\pcb_lib\symbols\ as .dra files. Also try googling, i am sure there will be tutorials that show how to make a package for allegro.

 

alright thank you

 

if a component does not have sufficient electrical description/characteristics you may have to edit that also, but it's been 30 yrs, so I've forgotten how it's done. I think this applies to the second line set in the list.
