CC2640R2F: CC2640R2F 5xd dwg dxf files for the circuit design

Part Number: CC2640R2F

Hey,

I've seen this circuit with the CC2640R2F 5xd chip:

And saw the swrc299 zip library with all the designs.

Where can I find dwg or dxf files for the design?

Thanks

Amit

    The reference design is available in the format provided in the zip. If these files can't be used directly in your CAD program you can open the gerber files and use them as a starting point. The footprint files for the CC2640R2F are available here: www.ti.com/.../pinout-quality

    Hello,

    I've tried to convert the gerber art files provided in that zip file to dwg files and this is what I got:

    As you can see, I can't see the widths of the copper lines so it is irrelevant.

    Where can I find better files for cad or solid edge? Or where can I find the measures of the entire circuit parts and conductors?

    Thanks

    You can import the gerber files in your favorite gerber viewer and measure the track width there.

    I don't have a good gerber viewer (only online viewer which isn't good). I've tried it but I get only some of the measures, not all of them.
    I have CAD or Solid Edge.
    I need to get files that I can open with those programs, or get the measures so I can draw it on my own.
    I'd rather get the files instead of drawing it all over again. It shouldn't be a problem to get it, right? Its supposed to be a complete product, how else am I supposed to use it for my own needs if I don't have the drawings?

    Thanks,
    Amit

    If you search for "gerber viewer" you can find several gerber viewer that you can download. gerbv is on example.

    I've managed to view it on gerbv, but I can't measure things like widths accurately.

    I must have this as dwg or other SolidEdge\Cad files. Can you help me with that?

    Thanks

    In this design the only traces that are 50 ohm are the traces out to the antenna and SMA. For these traces you can calculate the exact with using a transmission line calculator. For the other lines the width does not need to be exact, the widths you manage to measure with gerbv is accurate enough.

    We only have the files provided in the reference design zip. We are not able to provide the reference design on formats readable for all major CAD tools. So I'm unfortunately not able to provide you with files in the format you ask for.

    Thanks.
    What about the lines to the crystal oscillators?

    Not important.
