5.22.3 Adding Bus Interfaces to SmartDesign Components

To add a bus interface to a component:

  1. Select a bus definition from the Bus Definitions tab in the Catalog and drag it onto your top-level. The Add Bus Interface dialog box opens. A default name is assigned to your bus interface; you can specify your own if you wish.

  2. Click Map by Name to map the signals automatically. Map By Name attempts to map any similar signal names between the bus definition and pin names on the instance.
  3. (Optional) Click the Add Port checkbox to add ports to the top-level. If you choose to add ports, the Signal row becomes a text editable field.
