PCB Library Considerations The Embedded Component flow does not require any modification to your PCB symbol library. It's possible to utilize an existing package symbol such as a 0402 or 0201 capacitor and place the symbol and associated subclass geometry like assembly outline and pastemask to the targeted embedded layer. Cavity formation will be driven from the Placebound shape. Controls are provided to extend the cavity clearance beyond the placebound outline. Some of the factors that can drive custom library symbols for embedded applications are as follows: ■ Desire to build cavity outlines into the package symbol instead of using the placebound shape as the source. In the following example, an unfilled shape on Embedded Geometry class and Cavity_Outline subclass is added to the symbol. Embedded_Soft True/False Drawing PCB Editor Package Editor Designer is permitted to place any component on embedded layers. May be the method packaging designers use. Emb_indirect_padstack Via padstack name Drawing PCB Editor Package Editor Adds via padstack to all embedded component pin locations; used in Indirect Attach methodologies only.
