Re: [PEDA] Altera 144Pin TQFP Landing Pattern

Playing with the electrical grid so that it's 125% of the regular grid works great for me. I always seem to catch the center of the pins this way even when I have an Imperial grid board with these metric TQFPs. Brian Guralnick - Original Message - From: "Jon Elson" <[EMAIL

Re: [PEDA] Altera 144Pin TQFP Landing Pattern

You can set the grid in the lib. to be metric and when done adjusting the part switch it to a imperial grid and save it. The translation is made when you switch the grids. Ted -Original Message- From: Jon Elson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 2:17 PM To: Prote

Ted, Thank You! Yes, a through hole with 2 rows of pins for all 4 sides. I have asked Mill-Max for a sample, which I should be able to see the connections to the Cypress part. Jeff -Original Message- From: Ted Tontis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 1:43 PM To

Re: [PEDA] Mill-Max PLCC68 socket 940-99-068-24-000000

The part is a through hole correct? and has a 2 rows of pins for all 4 sides. If you have a ohm meter and a sample part, ohm it out. The pin 1 location on the socket should have a mark on it for pin 1. If you don't have a sample I would call Mil-Max directly. Regards, Ted -Original Message-

Brad, Excellent point. I am using Cypress CY7C144 68-pin PLCC which I know the numbering of, but I don't know how the IC socket changes the single row into the dual row pattern. I will have to get the socket to find out. Thank You! Jeff -Original Message- From: Brad Velander [mailto:[E

Re: [PEDA] Mill-Max PLCC68 socket 940-99-068-24-000000

Jeff, here is my thought. Isn't the answer to that question dependant on the device that you plug into it? If you plug in a device and it is numbered A/B/C/D, does it make sense that the mating Mill-Max connector pins might be numbered W/X/Y/Z? If they aren't numbered the same then you nee

Good Day! Anyone know the pin numbering of Mill-Max PLCC68 socket 940-99-068-24-00 ? The Mill-Max PCB Layout does not show the pin numbering and I do not have a sample part. Have a good weekend! Regards, Jeff Adolphs Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc. Off-topic: Did you have a good week? My wife

Re: [PEDA] Altera 144Pin TQFP Landing Pattern

You could try making a footprint with my footprint generator in imperial mode. The problem here is that Altera only specifies Metric & obviously, the pin-pin spacing still doesn't fall on every mil. Brian Guralnick - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel

Now that we've finished bashing Brad, let's all have a group hug...yeeuck! I'm not too concerned how many use the 123 method though it seems the EBC AK is the majority. My original question was whether anyone else has a problem with CAE software and the EBC method. This CBtest part of GENRad seem

Re: [PEDA] Altera 144Pin TQFP Landing Pattern

Whilst manual routes will happily snap to any pad centres, the Protel autorouter isn't too happy about anything off a 1-mil grid. It tends to put a number of small track segments converging on the pad centre, which you'll probably want to tidy up - this takes more time than converting the metric
