Setting the Supply and Consumption Source

This topic explains how to specify a component as a supply source in a Power Bus. It also describes how to specify the consumption power of components that are set as consumption sources.

  1. In the eCADSTAR PI/EMI Analysis module, Power Bus view, select the DC IC tab.
  2. In the Filter list, select VCC_GND. ICs that connect to the selected Power Bus are displayed.

  1. To specify a supply source, select the Source check box for P1.

  1. To set the power consumption for each device, select all devices other than P1 using the Shift key and enter "1" in the Power Consumption column.
  2. In the Package Resistance column, use the default value of 1 mOhm.

 

Note
The supply source and consumption source can be specified for each pin. Right-click in the Source cell, and select Set Source Pins on the assist menu. Alternatively, click the button which is displayed when you point the cursor in this cell.
