TMDSICE3359: PCB ASCII file

Bryn Epp

Part Number: TMDSICE3359

The TMDSICE3359 demo board file that is referenced on the website is unfortunately in the binary file format (.brd).

Is it possible to get an ASCII format of this PCB?

An ASCII file format would allow those wanting to use the demo board as a base for their own design to import the design into most of the popular PCB design software packages.

Sorry, this is not available. Only the files used to produce the actual board are published by TI.

The CM we use always wants the ASCII output.

Hi Bryn,

Cadence Allegro does not have a standard 'export ascii' capability. They do provide a utility called extracta which can be used 'to flatten information from a design'. In my searches this is the utility most often mentioned when generating a file that can be used by other tools but there are a number of arguments that can be used to customize the output. I don't see any method for providing a generic output that would be useful to the community.

Regards, Bill

Hi Bryn,

I haven't seen any addition update from you. I will make this thread as resolved but you can still post questions if you have any.

Regards, Bill
