@copilot Can I Use 14PIN IC symbol
2y

copilot

Yes, you can use a 14-pin IC symbol in your schematic. In fact, Flux provides various types of generic IC symbols, including 14-pin IC, that you can use and customize according to your needs. Here's how you do it:
  1. Look for the "IC" symbol in the library, which is usually under the "Symbols" section.
  2. After selecting the "IC" symbol, an option to customize its parameters will appear.
  3. Adjust the number of pins to 14 and customize other parameters as needed.
However, remember to specify the correct footprint when transitioning to the PCB layout, otherwise, it may cause issues during the manufacturing stage. You could also create or import custom symbols if the default ones do not meet your requirements.

Creating an electrical port symbol in Flux.ai for your schematic involves a simple series of steps.
  1. Go to the "Components" section and select "Create New Component".
  2. Name the component (usually reflecting the function of the port such as "USB", "GPIO", etc.).
  3. Leave the "Pins" section empty if it's simply a symbolic port.
  4. Make sure "Exclude from BOM" and "Exclude from PCB" are selected since ports are usually for symbolic or functional representation in the schematic and do not have physical counterparts on the PCB.
  5. Save this newly created component.
Now, you have created a port symbol which you can refer to in your schematic. Note that for each net or functional group connected to this port, you may want to create respective ports to clearly depict all individual connections.

This project is in the early stages of development and it seems that you are preparing to design a circuit involving capacitors, inductors, power nets, and other elements. Here is a general description of the components in your project:
Capacitors:
  • C44, a Murata GRM188R61E106MA73D with 10uF capacitance in a SMD_0603_1608Metric package.
  • C43, a Murata GRM188R61E106MA73D also with 10uF capacitance in a SMD_0603_1608Metric package.
  • C41, a Murata GCM1885C2A470JA16D with 47pF capacitance in a SMD_0603_1608Metric package.
  • C40, a Murata GCM1885C2A101JA16D with 100pF capacitance in a SMD_0603_1608Metric package.
  • C39, a Murata GCM1885C2A331JA16D with 330pF capacitance in a SMD_0603_1608Metric package.
  • C42, a FH (Guangdong Fenghua Advanced Tech) 0603B104K500NT with 100nF capacitance in a SMD_0603_1608Metric package.
Inductor:
  • L1, it's made by an unspecified manufacturer. The type and value of the inductor are also not provided, but a designator prefix suggests it might be a resistor with 120 ohms resistance.
Power Nets:
  • PGND, which is normally a name for Power Ground.
  • -12V INT, this is typically a power supply net name indicating it carries a voltage level of -12V.
  • PVDD1 and PVDD2, which follow a naming convention that often suggests power supply voltage nets. The exact voltage levels aren't specified.
The project also involves unnamed nets such as: EN1, EN2, SEQ, BP, SW1, SW2, FB1, FB2, BOOT1, BOOT2, ILIM2. These can represent a variety of different things depending on the context of your circuit, for instance, signals, output or input voltages.
Finally, GND designators are meant to represent ground connections in the circuit. There are multiple entries which could either be a mistake or the ground has been divided into different segments for specific purposes.
However, no connections have been made amongst these components yet, so the function of the circuit is not yet determined. You'll need to start drawing connections in your schematic to define your circuit's function.

To create a custom symbol in Flux, follow these steps:
  1. Click on "Library" in the left-hand side menu.
  2. Click on "New" to create a new library item.
  3. Select "Symbol" from the drop-down menu that appears.
  4. The symbol editor window will open, which allows you to create your custom symbol.
While creating a new symbol, remember to keep in mind these important points:
  • Use lines to draw the body of the symbol.
  • Define pin names, numbers, and placement correctly. Pin numbers should coincide with the component's datasheet.
  • Unit size in the symbol editor corresponds to the grid size on your schematic. For example, an op-amp symbol might span 3 units by 2 units.
  • Try to keep symbols symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing - this can help when reading the schematic later on.
Once your symbol is complete, you can save it to your library and it'll be available for use in your schematics.
Remember to link it with the correct footprint while creating or editing the component to ensure proper PCB layout later.
Remember, the complexity of this process can vary depending on the complexity of your symbol. A simple resistor or capacitor symbol could be created quickly, but an MCU or a complex integrated circuit (IC) could take longer due to the larger number of pins and more complex shape.

how to generat new symbol
2y

copilot

To generate a new custom symbol in Flux, follow these steps:
  1. Open the Flux library: navigate to the left-hand toolbar and click on the "Library" tab.
  2. Click on the "+ Create a Component" button at the upper right-hand corner.
  3. A new window will appear, asking you to select "PCB footprint" or "Symbol". Choose "Symbol".
  4. Now you will be in the symbol creation window. Here you can draw and define pins for your new custom symbol. Use the toolbar at the top of the screen to draw rectangles, circles, lines and arcs. You can add pins to the symbol using the "Add pin" button.
  5. Save your new symbol by clicking on the floppy disk icon or by pressing Ctrl+S.
Remember to name the pins appropriately and set the symbol attributes as needed. The complexity of the symbol can vary based on the device it is representing and its number of pins. It's best practice to refer to the manufacturer’s datasheet of your part when creating your symbol. This will ensure that all function descriptions and pin designations match the actual part.
