I am doing my first Eagle PCB design. It's been going smoothly so far, however, I just hit a road bump. I am using a TC1269 Regulator, but cannot find the CAD library for it. I have looked into tutorials to creating custom parts, but I was hoping that instead I would be able to find a premade one since the TC1269 employs a 8 pin MSOP package, which is common enough that there should be some CAD equivalents already out there.
Does anyone know perhaps another equivalent part that employs the same package that I can use in place of the TC1269 or perhaps a library with the 8 pin MSOP package?
Answer
There is a set standard package libraries called ref-packages-* look into ref-packages-smd-ipc.lbr. I usually try to search for a part by using package name: in schematics editor press "add" and enter *msop* (with "*" at begining and at the end) into search field.
I can recommend SparkFun and Adafruit libraries - these can be trusted and usually contain most common packages. This page has a set of decent libraries.
As regarding to devices it's usually faster to make your own than to look for them over the internet. If you download something you never know if you can trust them.
