| Need help finding Gerber files (for Analog Devices ADL9006) contained in zip |
| (1/2) > >> |
| wb0gaz:
I wish to get a few copies of the eval board for the Analog Devices ADL9006 microwave wideband LNA IC. From a discussion on engineering zone at analog devices (discussion URL below) https://ez.analog.com/rf/f/q-a/545717/rf-receiver the ADI rep stated the following, which includes a link (copied below): --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would suggest downloading the Gerber files (link below) and converting them to an ODB++ file using an online tool. https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/evaluation-documentation/gerber-files/adl9006_20-046180-01a.zip --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ZIP file above is about 4 megabytes, and my only experience with Gerber files are the typical "GBL, GTO, GTB" etc. file types. Any suggestions as to how to extract from the file above gerber files I can then send for PCB fabrication? Thanks |

I pasted the file names of the zip file to Claude AI, and its answer, which should help you to import it in your PCB program: Looking at the file structure provided, I can see this appears to be a Cadence Allegro/OrCAD project directory. The Gerber files should be in the artwork/fabrication directories. Based on the file listing, the Gerber files appear to be located in: ./worklib/02_046180a_top/physical/art/fab/ The relevant files appear to be: - l1_primary.art (Layer 1/Top layer Gerber) - l2_secondary.art (Layer 2/Bottom layer Gerber) - mask_prm.art (Solder mask Gerber) - silk_prm.art (Silkscreen Gerber) - paste_prm.art (Paste mask Gerber) - ncdrill-1-2.drl (NC Drill file) |

Thanks very much! I did see the references to Cadence so with the files you've identified I'll see if they are accepted by the PC fab house Dave |

My pleasure. I tried to rename the files: l1_primary.art -> 08_046180a.GTL l2_secondary.art -> 08_046180a.GBL mask_prm.art -> 08_046180a.GTS silk_prm.art -> 08_046180a.GTO paste_prm.art -> 08_046180a.GTP fab1.art -> 08_046180a.GML ncdrill-1-2.drl -> 08_046180a.TXT and then uploaded it to JLCPCB, and at least in the preview it looks good. |

Thanks, Frank, for cracking the code! I'll report back on how I fare on this... Dave |
