OrCAD Version 10.

0 Tutorial No lab report is necessary; however, be sure to print and turn in your schematic and net list. This will be due at the beginning of class on Wednesday 1/21/09. In this exercise you will create and annotate a schematic using the OrCad Capture program. This guide is not intended to convey stepby-step instructions for those features of OrCAD Capture that you can easily master by trial and error on your own. What it will do is rapidly walk you through enough of the important non-obvious features of OrCAD Capture to get you started. Use the OrCAD online tutorial under the menu Help item to practice details and more advanced concepts. The tutorial assumes you will be running OrCAD in the SOE PC lab. On your home PC the only major change will be in the location of the schematic directory. How to access Orcad depends on if you are using the SOE PCs in the PC lab or using the PCs in room 337.

If you are using the computers in Room 102, you can start Orcad capture from the start menu using Start Electrical Orcad 10.0 Demo Capture CIS Demo as shown below.

. Use whichever method is necessary start the program.

 When the program starts if you see the Windows security alert click on Unblock.

From the menu select o File o New o Project You should see the window below.

 Fill in a project name and location. 1 o Use H:\Schematics . You may have to create the Schematics directory. Be sure Schematic is selected in the "Creating a New Project Using" frame. Click on OK As shown below a blank schematic page should appear.

If you are doing this on you home PC or a flash drive use any appropriate directory.

 You can select either the SCHEMATIC window or the Majority.opj window to the left. Try this by clicking in each window. Note that the menu changes depending on which window is selected. Be sure the SCHEMATIC window is selected as shown above before proceeding.

 From the menu select: o Place o Part

 Select Add Library

Select Gate.olb and click Open. Gate.olb is the library that contains the NAND gates we will be using. For other parts you can add additional libraries.

 In the gate library select or type 74LS00. Click on OK

 Place 3 copies of the 74LS00 gate. A part is dropped by left clicking.

 Again from the menu select o Place o Part

10

 Select the 74LS10 gate Click on OK

11

 Place the gate. From the menu select o Place o Wire Quick rules for placing wire: Left click once to start a wire Left click once to add an elbow to a wire Left click once to end a wire that connects to something Double click to end a wire that dangles ESC terminates wire placement

12

 Add the wires as shown above. The Esc key can be used to exit from the wire mode.

Now place input and output ports on the design Place Hierarchical Port

13

PORTRIGHT-R/CAPSYM for inputs PORTRIGHT-L/CAPSYM for outputs

Place the ports as shown above. To change the name of a port: Double click on the default name PORTRIGHT-R Enter the new name X then click OK Note that you can change the font, color and rotation as well.

Schematic with port placement:

Notice the labels X, Y, and Z are far from the ports. To move: Left click once on X to select Hold left button down on mouse and drag to new location

15

The drawing must be annotated to obtain correct pin numbers. This can be done manually, but it is better to use the two-step process outline below. Click on majority.dsn to select the majority.opj window. Note that the menu changes. From the menu select: o Tools o Annotate

16

 In the Annotate window select "Reset part references to ?" in the "Action" frame. Click OK.

Click Yes.

17

 Click OK.

Note that the U numbers have been changed to "?". Be sure the majority.opj window is active and again select from the menu o Tools o Annotate

18

 Select "Incremental reference update" Click on OK

19

 Note that the IC's and pin numbers are now correctly labeled. 2 Print the schematic by first making sure the schematic screen is highlighted then selecting from the menu o File o Print

For lab reports, you may want to select the pertinent portion of the schematic then copy and past it into the lab report.

Create a netlist to help in wiring the circuit: Select the Majority.dsn design in the project window

Now select: Tools Create Netlist

21

 Click Yes You will see the Create Netlist dialog box:

Select the Other tab for the type of netlist then pick wirelist.dll:

22

Select OK to create the netlist The netlist is an ascii file you can open with Notepad or any other Windows text editor. Your wire list should look similar to:
Wire List H:\E254S05\SCHEMATICS\MAJORITY.DSN <<< Component List >>> 74LS00 74LS10 <<< Wire List >>> NODE REFERENCE PIN # 14 14 7 7 1 3 6 2 PIN NAME VCC VCC GND GND I0_A Y_A Y_B I1_A PIN TYPE Power Power Power Power Input Output Output Input PART VALUE 74LS00 74LS10 74LS00 74LS10 74LS10 74LS00 74LS00 74LS10 U1 U2 74LS00 74LS10 Revised: Thursday, February 10, 2005 Revision:
