Our last hope pulled through and got the information to create .STEP files of the requested packages. Hopefully they'll save you some time 🙂

Unfortunately we don't have any STEP files for these components internally either from what I've heard thus far. I am waiting for one last reply to confirm this though, but that person is out of office for the time being. I'll get back to you if this statement changes. Sorry to disappoint.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Ok, appreciate you letting me know about the application notes. You noted last week that you asked internally for the STEP files - have you received any feedback on these?

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Chris

I'm sorry, but I don't have a good answer as to why we don't have STEP files available on our home pages, but I'll put in this as a feature request in our internal ticket system to hopefully get an answer to that. But since it is possible to create the required files from our APP notes and/or Gerber files we might not be able to prioritize this any time soon.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thank you for responding and asking internally for the STEP files.

Is there any reason not to provide STEP files for Nordic IC's on your download pages, which seems to be common practice with large vendors?

I did review nAN400-08, but it doesn't provide any help with sizing the soldering pads on eCAD. I eventually opened up the hardware layout files provided on your download page in a gerber viewer and measured each pad to get the dimensions required. I do appreciate that these files are provided, however it would be a lot more helpful if these dimensions were documented as was done with the QFN73 package in nAN40.

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Chris

I have asked internally if we have STEP files for these packages available for mCAD/eCAD, unfortunately we don't have these packages available at our pages, as we do indeed only have the Altium files. We don't have application notes specifically for the QFN94 or 48 packages but we have this app note for QFN packages in general:https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nan_400-08.pdf?cp=17_12
