Resistors and Capacitors Standard Resistors If a component has a thermal pad or grounded chassis, add a hidden pin pad with the following properties.Hide the supplier part number from the schematic symbol.Select CAD currency if possible (otherwise use USD).Create supplier links (when possible) using the supplier part number.Copy-paste the description from Digi-key (or whomever the supplier is).For example, if the manufacturer part number is ADC081C027CIMK/NOPB, the default comment should be ADC081 Incase the examples above are not sufficient, see a list of standard designators here: IEEE Designators.SCH Libraries Default Designator Designator We will almost never use these but there could be exceptions. Pin designator for ground planes should be GND.Pin designators (pin numbers) should start at 1.Use the manufacturer part number for the package name.Use the supplier description (i.e., copy-paste from Digikey).NOTE: For CHIP and MOLDED Diodes (D), Resistors (R), and Capacitors (C).Name with an abbreviated manufacturer name and abbreviated package type seperated be a hyphen (e.g., TI-SOIC8).Always use the suggested value for description.Name and Description When Using Footprint Wizard If the footprint wizard violates this rule, manually correct the width of each pad after they are generated. Ensure at least 8 mil clearance between copper on all components.When using the footprint wizard, always use Level A - Low Density unless using a higher density is unavoidable.

More than 3,000 new Maxim Integrated components have now been released to AltiumLive bringing Altium's coverage of the Maxim catalog to more than 5,500 devices. AltiumLive also provides access to a host of design-related content including training and design tips videos, reference designs and a large range of documentation resources. Corresponding component price and availability data is drawn directly from vendor and supplier web services.
Maxim altium library update#
"Hosting our design content in AltiumLive allows us to update and maintain an ever increasing pool of supply-chain enabled component models, in harmony with the needs of Altium's customers and partners".Ī component model hosted in AltiumLive includes the schematic symbol, PCB footprint and a detailed 3D model for 3D mechanical integration during the PCB design process. "Continuing to deliver board-level components that support key parts manufacturers such as Maxim Integrated, provides our customers with a growing resource of design-ready content for use in Altium products" said Rowland Washington, Product Manager CAD Library and Design Data Development for Altium. Available now from AltiumLive, the release delivers board-level component models and corresponding supply chain information, such as real-time price and availability data from distributors and vendors including Digi-Key, Mouser and Farnell, directly to designers using Altium's electronics design software, Altium Designer.
Maxim altium library software#
Altium Limited, a leader in smart-system design automation and provider of solutions for 3D PCB design (Altium Designer) and embedded software development (TASKING), has released a range of component libraries for board-level designs using Maxim Integrated devices.
