Problem Title:
Global reset signal name for FPGAs/EPLDs


Problem Description:
How do I access the master reset in OrCAD?


Solution 1:

Although it may not appear on the schematic (if the STARTUP block
is not used), the global reset signals for the XC2000, XC3000, XC4000, XC5200
and XC7000 family devices can be accessed in simulation via the following
names:

2000, 3000, 5200 : GR
		   4000  : GSR
		    7000 : PRLD

NOTE: If using pre-XACT 5 software, the name of the 2k/3k reset signal
      is GLOBALRESET-.
