Question

Hi Guys,

I have started using eagle recently. I am trying to design a PCB that includes nrf51822 device. I have downloaded the NRF51.lbr. While designing I could found that the number of pins is not correct in the part, but package is correct. In part the pin number is 49 instead of 48. I want to delete the unwanted pin from the part and verify the connections. I have tried few tutorials. Most of them are for creating new library. I could not found a tutorial that helps my requirement. Any suggestion will be helpful. (If anyone is having the correct nrf51 library please help .)

thanks

The package used is QFN48 This is the link to the library. https://github.com/jeremysf/Eagle-Libraries?files=1 -- To view any images and attachments in this post, visit: https://www.element14.com/community/message/173890 Try this. You may prefer the way they have done the 49th pin https://www.dropbox.com/s/i2unz13wbn70kwj/NordicSemi.lbr This is all happening in the wrong forum so should stop. Warren

Hi Rahul,

The datasheet shows there are 49 pins (48 + pad)..

Still don't see what the issue is..

It states:

The exposed center pad of the QFN48 package must be connected to ground for proper device operation.

Agreed. See https://www.snapeda.com/parts/NRF51822-BEACON/Nordic%20Semiconductor/view-part/

I would delete that library and project first. Then install this https://github.com/ThoughtWorkshop/eagle-libraries/tree/master/PTR5518

reference layout for gerber files to import into eagle.
