Presenting: Tom Hausherr and Jeff Mellquist
What will the "CAD Library of the Future" look like?
6:00 PM Tuesday, January 27th, 2004 at Overland Storage, San Diego, CA
Event Description:
PCB Designer,
The profession of PCB design is rapidly changing. We are faced with many new
technologies that seem to be overwhelming at times. Faster circuitry,
smaller parts, many layers, impedance control, matched length and
differential signals, fine lines, blind and buried vias and by the way,
design it for manufacturability, but what about electronic product
development automation?
One of the most challenging aspects we are faced with today is the
Automation and Standardization of the Assembly Process. One of the key
starting places in assembly automation is the CAD Library. There are many
important factors that we must consider when building our CAD library parts.
This session will review the importance of the following IPC-7351 CAD
Library features:
* Zero Component Rotation
* Placement Courtyards
* Solder Joint Analysis
* How Assembly and Manufacturing tolerances affect the land pattern
* Component Tolerances
* CAD Library Pick and Place Origins
* Land Pattern Naming Convention
* The new IPC-7351 3-Tier land pattern specification
* How land pattern calculators and wizards are improving the library
creation process
* IPC-2581 Neutral CAD database format
Tom & Jeff will be demonstrating a new software tool that automatically
builds IPC-7351 library parts in IPC-2581 neutral CAD format. This new tool
will revolutionize all CAD library construction and documentation.
Come to the IPC Designers Council Meeting, San Diego CA, Jan 27, 2004.
I truly hope to see you there,
Tom Hausherr CID+ Jeff Mellquist CID+
Wind River Systems PCB Libraries
About Tom Hausherr & Jeff Mellquist
Tom started schematic layout over thirty years ago. Tom & Jeff have been
recognized as two of the top PCB layout designers in Southern California.
When you see their career highlights below, you'll understand why. Jeff is
working full time on the IPC-7351 & IPC-2581 products with IPC in
Northbrook, IL.
For the past 5 years, Tom has been employed by Wind River Systems. Tom &
Jeff have implemented a CAD Design Environment that he had developed and
tweaked over and over again since 1981 - eliminating duplication and
insuring accuracy. Tom & Jeff are working with the Standards Groups helping
to transition the electronics industry to the metric measurement system. Tom
& Jeff created a world class CAD metric environment, which took three
man-years to develop and Tom & Jeff are now helping IPC develop the IPC-7351
series Land Pattern Calculator, Library and Library Documentation. Wind
River started using the new metric environment in December 1999. Tom & Jeff
opened a website www.PCBLibraries.com <http://www.pcblibraries.com/> to
offer metric technology to the electronic industry for free download of many
documents and thousands of library parts.
Here are some of Tom's career highlights:
* Both Tom & Jeff are IPC Advanced Certified Designer CID+
* Tom & Jeff have thousands of hours working at a CAD terminal
developing standards, libraries and technology
* Tom & Jeff are certified PADS trainers
* Tom created 600-page PADS-PowerPCB training manual and Jeff created
a BlazeRouter Training CD-ROM
* Tom is a PowerPCB Product Champion
* Tom owned and operated his own PCB layout service bureau for 12
years
* Tom & Jeff created and documented five different CAD Libraries from
scratch
* Tom & Jeff distributed 10,000+ copies of the CAD land pattern
library to different companies worldwide.
* Tom & Jeff have been involved with the development of over 3,000 PCB
products for RF, analog, digital, front panel, power supply, back panel,
test fixture and mixed technology boards
* Tom & Jeff are the architects of the IPC-7351 Land Pattern
Calculator and IPC-7351 Library Documentation
* Tom is the current chairman of the Mentor Graphics PADS User Group
in San Diego
