Orcad Layout Footprint?

[[email protected]]

Hey guys,

I am new to this group and I am desperatly looking for the footprints
of 4 Analog Device ICs. Is there anyone helping me on how to find the
footprint libraries for Layout of Orcad? the ICs are:
AD8331ARQ,AD630AR,AD588BQ.

thanks so much,

Pariah

A quick google on AD8331 turned up the Analog Devices data sheet with
the QSOP20 (RS20) package perfectly detailed.

It's worth a try.

If you can find the library, you can find the library editor. Don't trust
someone else's footprints. Heck, don't even trust your own till you have
made a working board an and allocated the blame.

The only slightly odd part is the AD8331ARQ. The other two parts are
standard and can be found in the Orcad Layout standard libraries
installed with Layout. The AR and BQ devices can be found in the
DIPxxx and SOx libraries. You should also learn to make your own
footprints! Layout version 10.x has a nice footprint generator.

This is a perennial type of post.

Due to the differences in (it seems) everyone's needs (number of
layers, keepouts etc), there is no such thing as a 'standard' footprint
(well, perhaps most passives might have them but even so...).

So the short answer is, if it isn't already in a library, make your
own. Note that making your own footprints will not only make you more
competent with the layout tool, it can (under some circumstances) also
help you understand placing/routing requirements.

WOW. thank you guys.. that was a lot of help. I am trying to make the
footprints by myself.
