IPC-Compliant Batch Footprint Generator Reference

Old Content - visit altium.com/documentation

This reference provides technical information on configuring and using the IPC® Compliant Footprints Batch Generator to generate IPC compliant footprints in a PCB library document.

Building IPC compliant footprints from datasheet package information files quickly and easily is made possible by the use of the IPC Compliant Footprints Batch Generator.
The generator reads the datasheet package information (dimensional data of electronic components) from Excel spreadsheets or comma delimited files and then applies the IPC equations to build IPC compliant footprints.
Blank templates for package type files are provided in the Templates folder of your Altium Designer installation. These templates can be used as a starting point to enter component dimensional data. The spreadsheet is then fed into the generator to build IPC compliant footprints in PCB libraries.
The following sections of this reference detail the dimensional data of each component package type for the Altium Designer's IPC Compliant Footprints Batch Generator.

Function

Figure 1. The IPC® Compliant Footprints Batch generator dialog.

The IPC Compliant Footprints Batch generator allows you to generate footprint package kinds in PCB library files (*.PCBLIB) from input files, which can be Excel workbooks or comma delimited files. Such files must contain formatted component dimensional data. You can use the blank template files from the Template folder as the starting point. You then generate batches of footprints according to their footprint name (package kind) in the table.

Content and Use

Make a copy of the required blank template files and fill in the fields for each package that need to have corresponding footprints generated. Details of the dimensional information are mandatory and which is optional, as well as references to the dimensions they represent on the package are outlined in the respective footprint sections below.

Then you can select the Tools»IPC Compliant Footprints Batch generator menu item in the PCB Library editor to launch the generator. Once the generator dialog is displayed, you can then add input package type files by clicking the Add Files button to select package input files, or drag and drop the files directly onto the dialog. Set the output folder to a suitable location.

You also have the option of generating all footprints in a footprint library, a single PCB library document per input file, or an individual PCB library per footprint name. The Generate single PcbLib files per input file option will generate a PcbLib in the output folder with the same name as the input file being processed, and the footprints from this file will be put into the Pcblib. The Generate single PcbLib files per footprint name option will generate a PcbLib in the output folder for every package in the input files; either from the FootprintName package field, or using the generated IPC naming convention name if the field is blank.

Click the Start button to process the input files and then the PcbLib files and footprints generated. To stop and close the batch process, click the Stop button or the Close button.

If the Generate report on completion option is selected, then a report in HTML format will be generated and displayed containing the processed files, and any errors or warnings generated.

Package Dimensional Data and Type Summary

Component package data is illustrated by its physical image, its dimensional image and a table outlining the package's dimensional data such as its name, its format type and its function in tables as described in each package below.
Component package data are in metric (mm) measurement units only and is stored in an Excel file or a CSV text file and such files should contain data related to the specific package type only. Blank templates for package type files are provided in the Templates folder of your Altium Designer installation. These templates can be used as a starting point to enter component dimensional data.
The first two lines in a package data template file correspond to the specific component package kind. For example, the BQFP (Bumpered Quad Flat Pack).xls file represents the BQFP package type. See an example of the BQFP data below.

Heel, Side and Toe Fillets Information

Solder fillet refers to the shape of the solder joint between the component lead and the PCB pad. Adequate fillet is required to ensure both the strength and reliability of the solder joints. A solder joint may be described by three fillets: toe, heel, and side.
Note, that the fillet fields are optional for defining a package's dimensional data. If all the fillet fields are defined, then the generator will try and use these fields. However if there are one or more fields, but not all fillet fields are missing, or any of the fillet fields have invalid values in them, then the automatically calculated solder fillet values will be used instead.
The following packages have such fillets;
BQFP, Chip, CFP, CQFP, DPAK, LCC, MELF, Molded Capacitor/Diode/Inductor, PLCC, PQFP, QFN, QFN-2ROW, SOIC, SOJ, SOP, SOT23, SOT89, SOT143/343, SOT223 and Wirewound packages.

Land Pattern Information

Density Level A: Maximum (Most) Land Protrusion - For low-density product applications, the 'maximum' land pattern condition has been developed to accommodate wave or flow solder of leadless chip devices and leaded gull-wing devices. The geometry representing these devices, and inward and ''J''-formed lead contact device families, may provide a wider process window for reflow solder processes.
Density Level B: Median (Nominal) Land Protrusion - Products with a moderate level of component density may consider adapting the 'median' land pattern geometry. The median land patterns furnished for all device families will provide a robust solder attachment condition for reflow solder processes and should provide a condition suitable for wave or reflow soldering of leadless chip and leaded gull-wing type devices.
Density Level C: Minimum (Least) Land Protrusion - High component density typical of portable and hand-held product applications may consider the 'minimum' land pattern geometry variation. Selection of the minimum land pattern geometry may not be suitable for all product use categories. The use of classes of performance (1, 2, and 3) is combined with that of component density levels (A, B, and C) in explaining the condition of an electronic assembly. As an example, combining the description as Levels 1A or 3B or 2C, would indicate the different combinations of performance and component density to aid in understanding the environment and the manufacturing requirements of a particular assembly.
For example, for those packages that have density level fields in package sections below, a typical table entry would look like this;

DensityLevel

Yes

L, M, N

M = Most Use Environment (Level A - Low Density), N = Nominal Use Environment (Level B - Medium density), L = Least Use Environment (Level C - High Density).
