First step use Able2Extract to convert ball map in pdf to spreadsheet table
We setup a new part folder and configure partBuilder to read our spreadsheet using the SIMPLE_BGA PIN_REPORT_TYPE We fix the empty cells in the spreadsheet and run through till we get all the pins
Here we define the pinTypes using the PartBuilder PinExplorer Function since SIMPLE_BGA or ball-map spreadsheets don't provide pinTypes
here we take a quick look at the oldSchool smart-frac results before we go back and use the PGSM file to help smart-frac do a better job
we fix some issues detected in the spreadsheet created by Able2Exatract. We discovered when creating the video to for the PIN_GROUP Assign step
here we split up the pins into logical pin groups so that smart-frac can organize pins better for the first pass of the SDL it creates
here partBuilder creates a pin-group to symbol-map file for us from the existing pin-groups, and then we quickly edit it so we can tell Smart-FRAC how to better create and pins around symbols
here we examine the results we get after smart-Frac uses our PGSM file. We make a small adjustment to the PGSM file to fix an issue and then re-examine the symbols
here we use the SDL-Editor to optimize the pin arrangements and spacing around the symbols
here we show how easy it is to use SDL and the SDL-Editor to re-define the construction of the symbols. We move interfaces between symbols and create a new symbol on the fly
now we show the release process where PartBulider creates an OrcadCapture Tcl Script to help the user import the edif symbol file and convert it to an OLB library file
