The layout of EZ430-RF2500

The following Link to the Ez430 User guide has the required schematics.

Hope it helps.

I have found that but I need the original layout to redesign it to fit our research. This is not what I actually want to find.

I believe what you are after is here: http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/cc2500em_refdes.html

http://www.ti.com/litv/zip/slac255 This is possibly closer to what you need.

I find out some useful material in it. But do you how to open those files in the Gerber folder and the CAD sourse folder?

I will use ADS(Advanced Design System) in the relayout of the circuit. But I have tried all the files but can't open one of them. Do you have one that the ADS will open correctly?

You can download a free Gerber viewer call ViewMate from pentalogix.com. This will allow you to open and make measurement on the various board layers but it is not a design tool..  Here is the link to ViewMate http://www.pentalogix.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=55  

ViewMate is a free download and is useful to preview and take measurements from Gerber files and as an important independent check of your final Gerber files generated by your PCB design tools before uploading them to your PCB house. When opening files in ViewMate  set the file type pull down to "all files" to see the files.

ADS is a great simulation tools but its layout capability is limited. Most people use it with Cadence Allegro for the actual PCB design. I'm not aware of a Eagle to Cadence Allegro  converter.

Hi Mr. Stewart,

I am working on an very cool project that I'd like to share with you. New to this board. Is there a private way for me to send you my phone number?

Thx - brennan

It is easy. Click my name on the post, then click add as friend. I accept the friend request and we can exchange private e-mails.

Hi Stewart,

I have downloaded the file you mentioned above and try to relayout it. But my professor thinks the EAGLE is not perfect to design a board. He lets me to use the Cadence PCB editor to relayout. I try to put the files in the that software but none of them work. There are some erros and show the database is corrupted, it may have been copied from a different architecture using ASCⅡmode...copy using binary mode. Do you know why this happens?

Thank you very much.

Gentlemen, 

We always struggle with conversion between various layout tools. Unfortunately, I know of no good way of importing a Eagle databases into Cadence, it might be easier for you to start from scratch and use it as an learning experience.

Hi TA,

I don't think the databases are originally for the EAGLE. I can just put the file for the original board in the EAGLE. Is the file called slac255 for the board from Ti? Do you have any file that can be put into Cadence for relayout?  Because my boss want me to do that.

Best wishes
