One OR two gnd pins

autodeskguest

 

Hello,

 

I drew a general positive voltage regulator symbol. Now I'm going to add

package as needed. Usually these v-regs have 3 pins, such as TO-92 or

TO-220. However, some SMD parts have 4 pins, two of them connected to gnd.

 

How to handle this?

 

I want only one device with several variants for each package, with 3 or

4 pins as required.

 

Thanks

    Unfortunately that's not possible.  You'll need to make a separate device

    with a different symbol to include the extra GND pin for the SMD package.
