I have successfully designed a few boards using Atmel processors in an MLF32 package. This has a 0.5mm pin pitch and it causes a few problems (search for my OPs for details), but they are not totally insurmountable as you will see from the OPs and follow-up posts. Obviously one needs to

Hi, We have used Kicad in all our designs since 2005. For example, Altera FPGA 484 pins BGA, 0.0060 Clearance, 0.0039 mask clearance, 6 layers, 0402 capacitors, through vias. All routings are hand made and boards are in production. Regards, Pedro. I am doing a small research if KICAD will

Hi, is there any resource for success stories about using KICAD? Not only what company but also what circuit / application and what package density / types used. I am asking again, because I would wish to see some projects about targeting mobile phone / smart phone or PDA like complexity.

Lothar: I use KICAD to design all of my boards. They vary from DIP parts down to fine pitch (.020 pitch) parts. A PDF of the schematic and board layout for each of my boards is available on my website. Dave - WB6DHW http://wb6dhw.com Lothar Behrens wrote: Hi, is there any

Thanks. If comparing the Samsung 2442 chip pin distance of 0.8 millimeter, creating a module in KICAD would be doable. (http://www.opatnet.cz/elektronika/datasheet/U/um_s3c2442b_rev12.pdf) Here are the other components that are used in the FreeRunner:

Do a Google search on DG8SAQ or/and the VNWA2 Vector Analyzer. The pcb is visible on some photo's. The pcb and all the schematics where done with KiCad. //Dan, M0DFI On Monday 20 April 2009 15:24:42 Lothar Behrens wrote: Hi, is there any resource for success stories about using KICAD?
