Problem with MAG3110 in SparkFun-Eagle-Library?

Community PCB Design

I was trying to use the MAG3110 in the SparkFun-Eagle-Library. The package pads in the libarary are 0.8 x 0.22. The data sheet recommends 0.6 x 0.225. Is this difference intentional? --Osman

Without looking at it, I’m guessing they made the pads longer to facilitate soldering in a hobbiest environment.

OK. That makes sense. Thanks. --Osman

hi!

did you use the library of the MAG3110 or the whole EAGLE project form Sparkfun?

Im looking for the chips library to include it into my project and the general Sparkfun Eagle library does not include this chip. any ideas?

thanks
