PCI-Express provides for low pin-count, high reliability, and high-speed with data transfer at rates of up to 5.0 Gbps per lane, per direction, and an PCIe module is included on the TI 66AK2Gx DSP + ARM Processor system on chip (SoC). This PCIe PCB design considerations reference design helps developers optimize the printed circuit board (PCB) design by providing best-practice PCB for the PCIe portion of the 66AK2Gx Processor SoC. This in turn enables developers achieve desired PCIe signal performance on the first PCB implementation pass, allowing rapid focus on K2G Processor based application development and test. The 66AK2Gx General Purpose EVM (EVMK2G) is used as a reference to discuss some of these considerations.
Texas Instruments and Accelerated Designs, Inc. have collaborated together to provide TI customers with schematic symbols and PCB layout footprints for TI products.
Step 2: Download the Symbol and Footprint from the CAD.bxl file table.
Texas Instruments and Accelerated Designs, Inc. have collaborated together to provide TI customers with schematic symbols and PCB layout footprints for TI products.
Both PCB footprints and schematic symbols are available for download in a vendor neutral format, which can then be exported to the leading EDA CAD/CAE design tools using the Ultra Librarian Reader. The reader is available as a (free download.).
The UL Reader is a subset of the Ultra Librarian toolset that can generate, import, and export components and their attributes in virtually any EDA CAD/CAE format.
