Hello,

I am using the MCXN547VDFT microcontroller, and its reference pcb design is available at this link( https://www.nxp.com/design/design-center/development-boards-and-designs/MCX-N5XX-EVK). However, the design file is in Allegro format, and I am unable to open it in Altium.

Could you help me convert this file to Altium format? Alternatively, could you guide me on the appropriate via size I should use in the center of this microcontroller’s BGA pads?

Looking forward to your response.

to convert allegro to altium, in past I think you needed a dll file delivered with allegro. I don't know if this file is still needed or if it is delivered with the free viewer
