DFM Library Example Download

We decided to pull together a library example to help demonstrate the concepts during the creation process for our recent webinar on DFM library considerations. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so we decided that a good library example should be worth a handful of specifications...

The library contains 34 components of various types, from discrete components to mechanical hardware. All components have been placed on the schematic, and their corresponding footprints on a PCB layout sheet to allow you to see the library results when the information is consistent. Also, we wish to highlight the following:

Symbol Library:

• Method of handling the power on discrete logic gates
  

• A method for naming symbols
  

• A method for description information
  

• Key Static parameters
  

• Visibility and order of certain parameters for schematic display
  

Footprint Library:

• Etched components such as an inductor
  

• Courtyard for all footprints
  

• Assembly layer information for all footprints
  

• Thermal pads designed to avoid Via-In-Pad
