HI Sorry if I'm venting a bit, but its been a frustrating day in a frustrating week, and Its Monday, and I can't find recommended footprints for any of the TI parts I plan on using.
1. NONE of the online footprint libraries I've tried are supported by my CAD Software.
2. NONE of the online footprint libraries I've tried provide footprint information in a PDF file format.
3. Recommended footprints no longer appear on TI data sheets, NOR IS THERE A LINK to them.
4. Searches for the chip type or footprint ONLY refer to mechanical packaging, not the footprints.
Can you PLEASE point me to a location on the TI site where there are printable PDF files for recommended footprints...FOOTPRINTS, not chip mechanical outlines?
I would really like a generic go-to location where I can find all available footprints referenced by the package type...e.g. DCU for a VSSOP-8 1 gate logic chip.
