AM263P4-Q1: Ultra Librarian symbol/footprint options?

Sam Faris
Intellectual 780 points

Part Number: AM263P4-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM263P4

Hi Team,

I'm trying to download the Altium symbol, footprint, and model files for several AM263P4 variants for my customer: 

AM263P4AFONFZCZRQ1 (integrated flash package)

AM263P4ASOKFZCZRQ1 (sensor package)

AM263P4ACOKFZCZRQ1 (AM261 compatible package)

 

When looking at the ultra librarian download options, I see the following:

These do not appear to cleanly map on to the device nomenclature in the datasheet. The footprint options are similarly confusing. How do the symbols/footprints provided map to the devices my customer is interested in? Which options should I select to have the correct symbol/footprint for the above OPNs?

 

Thanks,

Sam

    Sam,

    It looks like the UltraLibrarian symbol is just for the AM263P4xC (compatible package) device. 

    I will have the additional packages created by the internal CAD team.

    Regards,

    Brennan

    Thanks, Brennan!

    A couple follow up questions:

    • Why are there so many symbol options for the C variant?
      • Clicking through the options, it seems like each one has different peripheral sets (A has ADCs, B has JTAG, C is clocking and RSTs, etc). However, no option seems to include all pins on the device. Is this typical for devices over a given number of pins? I see Jacinto does something similar w/ their 1000+ pins, but MSPM0 fits ~100 pins on one symbol

    • What would the timeframe be for adding the symbols for other variants?

    Best,

    Sam

    For larger packages/BGA packages the TI CAD team will almost always split up the component into different symbols (unless specified otherwise). This helps with organizing circuits and peripherals within the schematic.

    I would anticipate ~1 week for the CAD team to create the symbol and get approval from the product line.

    Great, thank you! Will be in touch around then.

    I see the reasoning behind the symbol splitting. If that is the case, is there any way to make the dropdown menu have clearer options? The alphabetical A-M is pretty abstract, and having clear names for the variant + what peripherals/pins are included in a given symbol would be handy.

    [EDIT] disregard above, I was being stupid and didn't hover over the info pop-up that explicitly states they are split for the reason you stated and that all symbols are downloaded at once (and not piecemeal like I thought)

    Best,

    Sam

    Hi Brennan, Tejas,

    Checking in on this - I see the JIRA tickets have been updated: sensor package is complete, and the flash package might already exist. What is the path to adding these to ultra librarian and sending to customer?

    Best,

    Sam

    Hi Sam,

    Apologies for this. Somehow, I missed to monitor this and was not able to review and approve the symbol created. Will try to do this in the next couple of days.

    Thanks,

    Hi Sam,

    This is created in Ultralibrarian, please refer to below link. It has ZCZ-C, ZCZ-S and ZCZ_F variants.
