Setting the

Equipotential Attribute for a Pin

You can set the Equipotential attribute for a device pin in Capital Logic Designer.

Procedure

Select the pin:Press the space bar and enter Properties.

Right-click and select Properties.

The Properties Dialog Box is displayed.

In the Attributes section of the General tab, set the value of the Equipotential attribute to the name of one of the nets that are connected to the pin. The nets listed in the dropdown list are those that are connected to the pin. The name that you select is the name that will be used for the single signal in Capital Systems Integrator. If you select the blank value for the Equipotential attribute, the nets will not be treated as equipotential.Note If the selected net is later deleted, the attribute changes to reference another net connected to the pin. If the deletion leaves just one net connected to the pin, the attribute remains set so that the equipotential behavior is preserved in case another net is later multitermed at the pin.
Click OK.

Results

When wiring is synthesized in Capital Systems Integrator, the system recognizes the Equipotential attribute and creates a single signal containing the connectivity of all the nets attached to the device pin. This signal is synthesized as a single entity.
