Problem Title:
SDT2XNF,INF2XNF 5.2.1: DECODE4.XNF missing DECODE property


Problem Description:
Keywords: orcad, inf2xnf, sdt2xnf, decode

Urgency: Standard

General Description:  inf2xnf 5.2.1 removes DECODE property
from WAND1 primitives in DECODE4.XNF even if it is described in DECODE4.INF

Example of incorrect DECODE4.XNF file:
LCANET, 6^M
PROG, INF2XNF, 5.2.2, "Created .... "
PART, 4008PQ160-6
SYM, U1, WAND, SCHNM=WAND1, LIBVER=2.0.0
PIN, I, I, A0
PIN, O, O, O
END
SYM, U2, WAND, SCHNM=WAND1, LIBVER=2.0.0
PIN, O, O, O
PIN, I, I, A1
END
SYM, U3, WAND, SCHNM=WAND1, LIBVER=2.0.0
PIN, O, O, O
PIN, I, I, A2
END
SYM, U4, WAND, SCHNM=WAND1, LIBVER=2.0.0
PIN, O, O, O
PIN, I, I, A3
END
EOF

As you can see the DECODE property is missing from the
WAND1 primitives that make up DECODE4.


Solution 1:





Solution 2:

If you are using OrCAD Capture, write the XNF netlist instead of INF(VST) netlis
t.

If using OrCAD SDT software, you can directly edit
the xnf file to include the DECODE property. After editing the DECODE4.xnf file
would look like:
LCANET, 6
PROG, INF2XNF, 5.2.2, "Created ...."
PART, 4008PQ160-6
SYM, U1, WAND, SCHNM=WAND1, LIBVER=2.0.0, DECODE
PIN, I, I, A0
PIN, O, O, O
END
SYM, U2, WAND, SCHNM=WAND1, LIBVER=2.0.0, DECODE
PIN, O, O, O
PIN, I, I, A1
END
SYM, U3, WAND, SCHNM=WAND1, LIBVER=2.0.0, DECODE
PIN, O, O, O
PIN, I, I, A2
END
SYM, U4, WAND, SCHNM=WAND1, LIBVER=2.0.0, DECODE
PIN, O, O, O
PIN, I, I, A3
END
