    Ako,

    Have you tried downloading .bxl files?
    You can find it here www.ti.com/.../quality
    Afterwards you need to use UltraLibrarian. It's a software that can convert it to almost any EDA software symbol/footprint.

    Cheers.

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have downloaded .bxl files and downloaded UltraLibrarian. But, I can't seem to export them with 'Unlicensed version'.

    That's weird. I managed to extract to eagle easily with free version.

    Look at this tutorial

    Thank you. The tutorial was helpful as well. It was the software (Ultra Librarian) I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked. I have exported Capture files but no footprint. How do I import the footprint?

    Ako,

    Unfortunately, I have no experience with Orcad. I have just tried exporting F28M36P63C2ZWTT to Eagle and it worked fine for both symbol and footprint. Hopefully, some orcad guy will pay attention to this thread :)

    Btw, have you selected Cadence Orcad Capture for symbol and Cadence Orcad Layout for footprint? You need them both as far as I understand. And there should pop up a readme after the conversion, try to follow it carefully.

    Thanks Andrei

    I selected both for symbol and footprint. Two files generated (edf and min) the text file instructs to import to Capture CIS only which is what I've done.  I think I need to import in PCB Designer 16.6 as well but not sure how. Is this what you have to do in Eagle?

    Thanks for all your help.

    Ako,

    I have no idea if that will make any sense, but you can try to run UltraLibrarian -> select Cadence Allegro 15.2 or newer -> Export To Selected Tools. Then run Cadence -> Release 16.6 (or whatever) -> Physical Viewer. Then click open and browse to your .dra file (in UltraLibrarian\Library\Exported\Allegro14\...). I have never tried it (just found with google).

    In Eagle it's quite easy. You simply create new library, then execute script and obtain both, symbol and footprint in the single library, so you can combine them into one device. Many of Texas instruments components have three types of footprints (nominal, small and large size), so you can choose. But your device has only one. So everything is straightforward.
