.STEP FIle ??
Got a request for quoting IBIS model creation, and the potential
client sent his data in .STEP file format. I have no clue what that is. I've made IBIS models from PWL files (which I suspect .STEP might be a form of) and, of course, Spice files. Any ideas? ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

It's just a model to see what the PCB will look like and to make sure there are no collisions with the case features. But you knew that. The real LEDs are water clear, but I tinted them the color of the emitted light. http://www.speff.com/LED.JPG Don't know why they put the die off-center. I guess it doesn't much matter if there is no lens. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."
