Error: Input Power pin not driven by output power pins

Hi there,
It’s important for you to know that I’m new with this.
I’m doing this circuit with opamps and it’s always giving this error: Input Power pin not driven by any Output Power pins. CAn anyone help me, please?
This is my circuit:

Hi @lmp

Pins for symbols, like everything else in Kicad, have “Properties”. To view pin properties, you need to open a symbol in the Symbol Editor. Below is an example. I have opened the list of “Electrical type” for pin 8 of an op-amp.

Your AD8066 has pins 5 & 4 selected as “Power Input” pins for their “Electrical type”.

The ERC is not very smart. For the ERC to be happy, any pin selected as a Power input MUST be connected DIRECTLY to a power output from somewhere… anywhere.

To make ERC happy, you have four choices:

  • You can ignore the warning. It is only a warning.
  • You can modify the pin properties to eg. passive, so ERC will not be upset.
  • You can place a power flag on the input on the net into the offending pin thereby telling ERC there is a power output connected to this power input.
  • You can place a power output directly attached to the power input.

The two easiest are either ignore the warning or place a power flag.
You will find the “Power Flag” symbol in the Symbols “Power” library, towards the bottom of the list.

I’ll also recommend reading the documentation @Piotr suggests, as well as the rest listed here.
