CC1110 PCB schematic library

Dear Sirs,

     Which PCB design software should I use so that I can have the schematic and PCB library of CC1110 readily available?

     If it isn't available, can you suggest somewhere I can download the PCB layout for designing the PCB?

 

Thank you in advance,

 

Tony

 

 

  • You find the CC1110 868/915 MHz reference design here (schematic and geber files + CadStar files) : http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/cc1110em868-915_refdes.html. You can import the gerber files (.spl extension) into any gerber viewer (e.g Viewmate). The schematcs and gerbers are also available in .PDF format

    You can use CadStar Express, which is freeware, and import the .pcb (PCB) and .scm (schematic) files. See www.zuken.com  

  • Dear Sverre,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am using CadStar Express. When I am trying to use the function "Transfer to PCB' while editing the schematic I cannot choose 0.8 mm double layer technology (no such choice)

    Also the following error is encountered.

    Error: Item '0402(REFLOW LF)' not found in, or could not be transferred from, Component Library.
    Error: Item '0402(REFLOW)' not found in, or could not be transferred from, Component Library.
    Error: Item '0805(reflow)' not found in, or could not be transferred from, Component Library.
    Error: Item 'FIDUCAL_MARK' not found in, or could not be transferred from, Component Library.
    Error: Item 'QLP36_4_4(Reflow)' not found in, or could not be transferred from, Component Library.
    Error: Item 'SFM SMD Socket 2x10' not found in, or could not be transferred from, Component Library.
    Error: Item 'SMA_SMD(straight)' not found in, or could not be transferred from, Component Library.
    Error: Item 'XTAL_SMD_3_2x2_5(3.2 x 2.5 mm)' not found in, or could not be transferred from, Component Library.
    Error: Item 'XTAL_SMD_85SMX(8.7x3.8mm)' not found in, or could not be transferred from, Component Library.

    When I am trying to do ECO Update while editing the PCB layout the following error is encountered.

    Error: Item 'SMA_SMD(straight)' not found in, or could not be transferred from, Component Library.

    So I wonder if I have to purchase the full version of Cadstar in order to get the library of the above components and the 0.8mm double layer technology. or I can just download the library some where and design the PCB in 1.6 mm PCB and ask the factor to manufacture the board as 0.8mm technology instead.

    Would you please advice me the low cost option?

    Thanks

    Tony
