## Reference

These common symbols can be used in schematic import and map to the following passive-typed HDL blocks:

| Symbol | HDL Block | Value Parsing | Notes |
|------------------------------------|--------------------|-----------------|----------------------------------|
| Device:C, Device:C_Polarized | Capacitor | e.g. `10uF 10V` | Voltage rating must be specified |
| Device:R | Resistor | e.g. `100` | |
| Device:L | Inductor | | |
| Device:Q_NPN_\*, Device:Q_PNP_\* | Bjt.Npn, Bjt.Pnp | | |
| Device:D | Diode | | |
| Device:D_Zener | ZenerDiode | | |
| Device:L_Ferrite | FerriteBead | | |
| Device:Q_NMOS_\*, Device:Q_PMOS_\* | Fet.NFet, Fet.PFet | | |
| Switch:SW_SPST | Switch | | |

Notes:
- Blocks are Passive-typed unless otherwise noted.
- If Value Parsing is empty, the Block can only be defined by HDL instantiation or inline HDL.
- All Blocks that can be used in schematic import can be found by searching for all subclasses of `KiCadImportableBlock`.
- In many cases, the `_Small` (like `Device:C_Small`) symbol can also be used.

These higher-level symbols have typed pins (like VoltageSink, Ground, and AnalogSink) and can be used to make higher-level analog signal chains:

| Symbol | HDL Block | Notes |
|--------------------------------------|-----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Simulation_SPICE:OPAMP | Opamp | Supports value parsing (with empty value); is the full application circuit for an opamp (including decoupling capacitors) |
| edg_importable:Amplifier | Amplifier | |
| edg_importable:DifferentialAmplifier | DifferentialAmplifier | |
| edg_importable:IntegratorInverting | IntegratorInverting | |
| edg_importable:OpampCurrentSensor | OpampCurrentSensor | |
