Can someone explain the difference between electrical type of pins for components like passive, open collector etc? Generally which type should be used in which scenario? I was working with a schematic of a component with both AGND and DGND tied to one common ground. Is it ok to use electrical type as 'power' for both pins? or should I use passive for AGND? Thanks for help
As I know this feature is for Electrical Rule check , if you want to use ERC they must be set correctly
but it does not affect netlist creation for pcb design , if you don't use ERC take it easy
The electrical types will only affect ERC, which may help with detecting errors in your circuit. If you don't want to use the functionality, then simply set every pin to "Passive" to disable ERC on pins.
