from the May issue of microSOLUTIONS:
Microchip and Accelerated Designs, Inc. have collaborated on an Ultra Librarian Reader (ULR) tool to provide Microchip’s customers with schematic symbols and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) footprints for Microchip’s entire product portfolio, including Microchip’s 8-, 16- and 32-bit PIC® microcontrollers, dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs), Serial EEPROMs and Analog and Interface products. Providing components based on parametric data through the ULR allows PCB designers to reliably create consistent quality CAD entities to an established standard with minimal effort. This free download service will save designers valuable time, when working with Microchip’s products, and accelerate time to market for their designs.
Both PCB footprints and schematic symbols are available for free download in a vendor-neutral format, which can then be exported to the leading EDA CAD/CAE design tools—including the newly released Cadsoft Eagle support—using the ULR. The standard Microchip footprints generated by the ULR are based on the IPC-7351 specification. The free ULR tool, including both footprints and symbols, is available now for download at http://www.microchip.com/CAD. The ULR is a subset of the complete Accelerated Designs Ultra Librarian toolset, and generates components and their attributes in virtually any EDA CAD/CAE format. An enhanced version of the Accelerated Designs Ultra Librarian software is also available for purchase. The enhanced package enables software models to be modified and auto-generated to meet any user-defined requirement.
