How can I combine different FPGA Bank Schematics to refer one footprint.

Runo , 03-06-2024, 03:22 PM
I have started to design an FPGA board and as first step I am trying to create the schematic for the XC6SLX9-2CPG196C chip. I would like to do it in separate banks. I have created a schematic library for each bank, but I do not know how to combine these banks in one single footprint.

Any help would be appreciated. If the question is unclear feel free to DM me to discuss.

Thanks.

For example, when I add these separate libraries to my Schematic and import the changes to PCB, I am seeing one chip for each library. Which is actually what I was expected. However, I do not know how to combine them.

I think what you mean is that you want to create a multi part symbol.

Was just about to answer same. Yes excatly, you mean problably multi part symbol.

I also have tried that solution. However, this time when I drag the Multiple Part Component from the component library, only the Part A is shown. I can not reach the other parts.

Oh okay. I found it now. When a multiple part component is selected, its parts can be reached from the models section below.

Thank you for your help @Mini , @QDrives . Wishing you a good day. 👋

Also, dont forget to give it the same reference designator .... U1A U1B U1C ... means they are all U1 component
Runo , 03-07-2024, 06:28 AM
Yes the main designator is set as U1 and Altium automatically adds the part name to the component. So, Part A comes as U1A. Thanks @Robert Feranec
