I am trying to learn Eagle by making a schematic that uses a TI OPA1632 full differential opamp. This device is not in the Eagle libraries as far as I can tell.
I am encountering TWO (2) related issues...
On the Element14 site I find a CAD file for this device and follow the instructions in a README file
1. Start Eagle
2. Select File -> New -> Library
3. In blank library window, select File -> Script [this item does not exist. There is an EXECUTE SCRIPT option which I assume is what we want. This opens a library window]
4 Select the EDIT tab [this is impossible as that window with that option is now covered by the library window I just opened with the EXECUTE SCRIPT]
5. Browse to the correct EAGLE script file [I do this and find the OPA1632 script where I stashed it]
6. After opening the file, the script will populate the new library
7. Use FILE -> SAVE (or Save As ..) to save the library to the desired location in EAGLE native format.
SO, after doing what is feasible, I see a large library listing with my new library included.
BUT, when I go to the schematic editor, that library is not present. I've gone around this prickly pear several times and get the same non-result.
Also, I can inspect the contents of the OPA1632 library item from that lib window, and it has the correct PCB pad. However, the schematic symbol is not useful -- a box with named signal I/Os and no pin numbers. What is desired here is the symbol we find in the data sheet -- a typical opamp triangle etc. I tried to edit the symbol but got an error that to do so would exceed the number of pads allowed.
I really need some guidance
