Schematic Symbols /PCB Libraries

There are so many features in today’s CAD library that even if you are building a standard SMT library part, the process may take you 30 minutes per part.  With the LP Wizard, it just takes a couple of minutes with greater precision!

The IPC-7351A Wizard is a fantastic time saver that builds your CAD library parts with unbelievable precision that dramatically reduces risk of human error.

The IPC-7351A LP Wizard is a SMT land pattern calculator that allows you to define your own CAD land patterns.  If the correct CAD library parts is not already available, no problem! Automatically build CAD library decals in the native CAD format that are based on the IPC-7351A standard! Simply use the default IPC settings, or easily configure the LP Wizard to your required manufacturing tolerances that determine the pad size, placement courtyard tolerance, pad width round-off, component tolerance, land pattern name, and the solder joint analysis.

The desired (target) conditions for Chip. Gull-Wing, and J-Lead components are easily attainable by designing with the IPC-7351A LP software.  For best CAD library accuracy and quality, use the LP Calculator to achieve the best land pattern results derived from your component dimensional data or our rapidly growing library documentation.  If you want to maintain your own library documentation, get the LP Librarian (includes calculator), and if you want to build parts directly to your CAD tool in less time than it takes you to key in the component dimensions, just the LP Wizard.  Building the perfect CAD library parts cannot get any easier than with IPC-7351A LP Wizard!

Flexibility & Control
This software provides you with the flexibility and control you need and never had.  Let’s take foeexample the ability to create BGAs.  Having the ability to control individual pins is veryimportant because long gone are the days when BGAs have simple. Square shaped voids or pin groups.  Today BGAs come in a variety of designs.  That is why our software giver you complete control over pins by allowing you to add or remove individual pins as well as ranges of pins — in any combination.

Superior Component Library Management System
The library documentation edit feature can be used to create libraries from scratch, modify individual attribute names and change IPC-7351A LP software-generated values based on your unique project needs.  This feature provides unprecedented flexibility in library management as you can now completely control what component data is stored in individual data files.

With the ability to group all parts of a project together in one data file, you can effortlessly keep your projects organized.  It can also save engineers time because now they do not have to sort through numerous data files to find all the parts of a given project.  Simply group the parts created for any project into a single data file, and share it with engineers.  The data files can be browsed with our completely free IPC-7351A LP Viewer by your customer or anyone in your company!

If you build parts in one library and at some point decide certain parts should be copied to a different library, our software can easily transfer individual parts or groups of parts as you see most appropriate, making library management easier than ever.

What About Alternative Calculator?
Like nearly everything else, there are alternatives. However, this software stands far above other very risky “maverick” calculators and land pattern generators available.

The first and most important reason is that we alone did not determine how the outputs are generated.  Instead, we worked with IPC as the IPC-7351A standard was developed to ensure the output of this software would comply with the new standard and be accepted by the industry.  Unlike alternatives, this software was produced from the ground up based entirely on the IPC-7351A.  This means our software does not build parts to our standard, but the industry-accepted IPC-7351A.

Our software is superior to others also because it perfectly dovetails with the absolutely free library documentation provided to you by IPC.  This documentation is constantly growing and will continually add greater value to LP software users over time.  Unlike other tools created independently of IPC, this tool will meet your company’s long-term library documentation needs, and provide you unprecedented compatibility with what the rest of the industry is and will be using for many years to come.
