MPN
The mpn
statement defines the "Manufacturer Part Number" of a component. It is used to create the bill of materials and to check the sourceability of a `pcb-component``.
This statement is valid in the pcb-component context.
Signature
mpn = <String>
This statement is optional. The default value will be false
in case no mpn
statement is found in a component definition.
Any string is a valid mpn
.
Each pcb-component
may have exactly one mpn
statement. If more than one statement is encountered in a definition, then a DuplicateCStmtError
exception will be raised.
Examples
pcb-component usb-iface:
mpn = "TPD3S014DBVR"
pcb-component dip-switch (n-sw:Int = 8)
mpn = to-string("219-%_MSTR" % [n-sw])
In the usb-iface
example, mpn = "TPD3S014DBVR"
The part number of this component is TPD3S014DBVR
Parametrically constructed components are common pattern. In the dip-switch
example, we have an argument n-sw
to the component definition. We use this argument value to construct the mpn
using string formatting. For the default argument of 8
, this results in mpn = "219-8MSTR"
.
