Notes:
1. Since reference design numbers 1217 and 1255 document layouts that can be directly fabricated in the form of
a SIP module, they also include an assembly package (zip file) which contains an assemble drawing, pick and
place file, and paste stencils. In addition, the Gerber package (zip file) for these two reference designs includes
drill files.
2. The 1217 reference design does not include layout files in Altium, PADS, or OrCAD formats.
