Hi,
I'm trying to view and manipulate the design of an evaluation PCB for the MAX2870 Phase-Locked Loop chip. Maxim have made a .pcb and .sch file available on their website (under "Tools & Models") but I couldn't open either with any software I'm familiar with (Kicad and Eagle).
After emailing the company to query what software to use I got this reply:
The schematics and the PCB files available online can be opened by the Orcad - cadance which is the industrial standard for sharing such files. A free version of the said software should be available online.
So I downloaded the OrCAD Lite package (version 17.2) and installed it. Using the "Capture CIS Lite" software I do have an option to open .sch files, but upon trying to open the MAX2870EVKIT-schematic.sch I get the following message:
Has anyone come across this problem before, or have any recommendations so that I can access the file?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
