LDC507X-SENSOR-DESIGN-TOOL

The LDC5072X design tool is a powerful resource to accelerate the design and implementation of inductive PCB sensors for monitoring motor position with the LDC5072-Q1. The tool accepts user inputs for electrical and mechanical requirements and creates a PCB inductive sensor and supporting target. The tool can also create a layout, supporting Gerber files and spice models of the user’s design. The spice models support a quick, preliminary evaluation of the user’s design. Layout Gerber files of user design's sensor, target and an evaluation board streamline hardware prototyping and evaluation.

This tool generates Gerber files for an evaluation board containing the sensor and LDC5072-Q1.

 If you would like to have PDF versions of the board files pop-up after generation, then please download the gerber2pdf.exe file from https://sourceforge.net/projects/gerber2pdf/files/ and place it within the installation folder LDC5072_Sensor_Designer/application as gerber2pdf_ALT.exe.

If gerber2pdf_ALT.exe is missing, then the tool will reminder you with the text:

• Cannot find Gerber2pdf.exe.

Please download from ti.com or https://sourceforge.net/projects/gerber2pdf/ if you would like to view the Gerber files as pdfs. Save the file as application/Gerber2pdf_ALT.exe.

• Create a inductive sensor design from electrical and mechanical requirements              
• Evaluate and iterate a design with tool-generated spice models
• Prototype design hardware with Gerber PCB layouts created by the tool
• Installation and getting started guides are included with the download
