Other Parts Discussed in Thread: THS4031EVM

Hello,

I would to use the recommended layout on the EVM. I can simply copy and paste the board file into my existing design and add the power pad recommendations from the datasheet.

Can you please provide the gerber/board files for the THS4031EVM. I need this right away.

Hi Carissa,

I cannot open the files. I receive the following error message (see attached). I'm using the Allegro Viewer from Cadence.

What is wrong? What software do you use to view the files?

Hi David,

I am not sure what is wrong here...i cannot read the error but these files are fairly old and we had to go back to the vendor for the original file.

There is a Gerb Tool Viewer that allows you to see the files.

I believe the error on your screen is the same I receive when opening with cadence. I believe it was copied over from PADS and is now in another format.

Hi Carissa,

I downloaded Gerber Tool, but the file type was not recognized.

I still can't open the file. What do you recommend I do?

Hi David,

I am not sure I understand why I can open and you can’t…

What error message did you receive?

Do you have P-Cad or maybe Altium? This may allow you to pull the files back in…BUT you should have no issue opening each layer as I did and look at

these using a gerber tool viewer. Since the original board files are gone (created back in ’99) what we recommend is creating the layout by looking at the gerber files in the viewer

for placement.

Hi Carissa,

No, I didn't receive an error, but the files could not be opened using the Gerber Tool.

What is the version you are using? I only have viwers for various PCB packages.

If you can send me the link to the viewer you use, then I can download it.

Hi David,

I am using GerbTool 13.0. I downloaded this internally. There seem to be a few view versions on the web.

Easy enough you can import each file, one at a time or easy enough, use the import wizard and get help import the files to view.

Carissa,

I finally got it to work using an evaluation version that is good for 30 days. Once this license expires, I won't be able to view it.

I would suggest you convert this over to an Allegro file at some point.

Thanks for your help.
