1. A quad opamp is properly reference to a single PCB footprint (package), since a quad opamp io, by definition a single IC constituted from four (quad) opamps...
2. As to component geenration, there are varying preferences within the community as to how one should define a schematic component for a multiple device package. Some will adamantly demand that you follow their method, pedantically and subtly implying that you're a dolt or some other unfortunate if you don't follow their superior method, ie, by spelling out the proces of EDA usage as though you were a middle-school student... As I always say, (and they know) f^&k 'em. For a step-by-step on component generation within Protel, I'd suggest refering to the manual. FWIW, if you already know the step-by-step, then consider this. Some prefer to work with primitives only, so they generally create components based on primitives. Other prefer to consolidate package components within a single framework. These peoplee might choose to create components containing all devices within the component border. Someone of us use both, choosing one over the other depending on the situation,. In any case, each schematic symbol refers to a PCB footprint, if indeed that schematic symbol is for a PCB component. Again, though many here may be printed circuit layout house employees, and so have little inclination to even consider use of a schematic editor for creation of non-PCB components, there are many who do. You may be one or the other...better informed than blindere by narrow-minded dogma. regards, aj >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Website Visitor >Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 6:17 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [PEDA] Schematic sub-component creation. > >Hello. > >I am looking for the proper way to create a quad op amp >component/package. >How is the schematic component created? >Are each of the four op amps created as a different components? >How are the four components assigned to one PCB package? > >Thanks > >Posted from Association web site by: Newby > > > >____________________________________________________________ >You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum > >To Post messages: >mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Unsubscribe and Other Options: >http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com > >Browse or Search previous postings: >http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search previous postings: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
