Hi, I think the suggestion was that many of us on this list also have PADS and could translate the database from binary to ASCII for you if you were able to release the database to someone who could do this.

Now they are running Allegro and I dont' think they have access to PADS either. I will ask the Engineer to see if they have anyone in the company working with PADS. Thank you for the ideas.

Is that am option?

I think that there is no way to get around this :( Please let me know if there are other options.

If it is ASCII then you can read the database into Cadence Allegro and then extract the library from that. If it is binary then I think you are out of luck.

The customer does not have a datasheet for this part for some reason and wants me to extract the data from the PADs board. We do not have PADS and I have downloaded the evaluation from Mentor. Is it possible to export this library and import into allegro format or does anyone have a better suggestion? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
