Hello,
I am new to KICAD. I use to use ORCAD to design power electronics layouts.
I am designing a BLDC MOTOR CONTROLLER. It consist of 12 mosfet. 4 mosfets are controlling one phase of the BLDC MOTOR. Because of mosfet paralleling, my design must be symmetrical.
When I checked, I found that there is plug in called replicate layout. But in order to plugin work, I need to use hierarchical sheets for everything and it does not work for my case.
I have two different sheets. One is consist of 3 half bridge gate drivers. Other one consist of 12 mosfets and driving components such as gate resistors and pull down resistors.
I want to create a layout design for one mosfet and its driving components, then I want to replicate this structure for remaing three mosfets for single phase. Then I want to draw the gate driver part. After that I want to create this structure for remaing two phases.
Orcad can do this very nicely. Are there any ways achieve the structure I mentioned by following steps above without using too many hierarchical sheets
