Using Orcad to design a board for Pi
On schematic, two parts designated as U1A and U1B but they are from the same component and share the same footprint. How do I make sure to let Orcad know it's the same and 1 component instead of 2.

Re: Using Orcad to design a board for Pi
Hi,
So, don't worry about this (as long as the components library is from trustworthy source
).

In various chips you have multiple equal functionalities packed together (eg. 4 NAND gates, 6 inverters, 2 op-amps etc.). This is the case on your schematics. There is no need to pay special attention to this, because they can be swapped (and indeed, the CAD programs can automatically swap them in order to route shorter traces).lilzz wrote:On schematic, two parts designated as U1A and U1B but they are from the same component and share the same footprint.

Running out of GPIO pins and/or need to read analog values?
