Note that the thermal pad (EPAD) was given a pin number also.


What only matters is the pin list (with correct numbers and names). Again it is only about aesthetics and schematic clarity. The placement logic here is to have inputs on the left, outputs on the right hand side, and power supply coming from top and bottom. That's leading us to something more like this (just dragging pins and adjusting boundary size and adding the thermal pas as pin #17). You only change the way the symbol looks: Doing so, you must not change the pin numbers. Sometimes, application schematics available in the datasheet can help considering another pin ordering. Nevertheless, physical arrangement is not always good for schematic clarity and you may prefer to order pins in a more "purpose-based" manner. Doing so, you can easily make sure that nothing is missing. It is a good idea to start placing pins the same way it is physically ordered on the real device. Note that you'll have to resize the device boundaries by dragging corners to fit all the pins: Once your done creating all the pins, you'll end up with something like this. If not, that will cause wrong connections at schematic level when you'll instantiate that part later. It is very important that pins are perfectly grid-aligned. Make sure that the snap to grid option is engaged. VCC, GND, and alike) but it doesn't really matters here. You may choose the "power" type for supply pins (e.g. For our purpose of schematic editing and basic PCB routing, the "short" shape and "passive" type will suit most pins (especially when you don't know the exact function of the pin). Keep names and number consistent with the device pinout. You can start adding pins according to the device datasheet. TL072, LM324) or logic gates, it is common to find several instances of the same component in one single package. You may also want to check other options, such as the Parts per Pkg number. Give a name to your component "STSPIN240". For the STSPIN240, we have this:įrom the library contextual menu, select New Part: You basically only need a table or a drawing with pin names and associated numbers. Make sure you can find the pinout description of your device into the datasheet. You may also verify that the new library is a Schematic Library by checking its properties (right-click): In this example, the library is saved as "my_lib.OLB" in my personal tutorials directory structure: Use the contextual menu to perform a Save As. You may want to rename that library, and choose a personal location on your private disk space.

The library is created with a default name and location. It's up to you to create one or several libraries to collect your various DIY parts. A library is a collection of several components (parts). If you have one, you may choose to open an existing library instead. Note that here, I'm assuming that you don't have a personal library yet. The first step is to get the device datasheet on the web:įrom the start page, select File→New→Library.

Custom PCB footprint is addressed in a separate tutorial.Īs an example, let-us consider the STSPIN240 motor driver from ST.

In this tutorial, we'll see how to create a new library, then add a part into that library. Well you need to create your own library, and then add parts you want into that libary. Say you want to integrate a new part into a schematic that does not exist in the available libraries.
