  • Patent number: 10706204
    Abstract: A method of performing automated surface-mount package design includes obtaining physical inputs that include names and locations of top and bottom pins, and obtaining electrical inputs that include electrical parameters such as impedance. The method also includes automatically performing analysis and processing of the physical inputs and the electrical inputs. A design file for manufacture of the surface-mount package is automatically generated based on the performing the analysis and the processing. The design file specifies a number and material of layers of the surface-mount package.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 2, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2020
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION
