name: chip-fetcher-site-ti description: >- How chip-fetcher pulls CAD from Texas Instruments (ti.com) — the "CAD/Symbols, Footprints & 3D Models" widget on a product page (an Ultra Librarian embed) and the native STEP. Read before a TI-direct fetch. Trigger words: ti, texas instruments, ti.com, ti cad, ti step, ti symbol footprint, ti ultra librarian, ti.com blocked.

Site: Texas Instruments (ti.com)

Top-rung manufacturer source — TI's STEP is authoritative and its ECAD is an Ultra Librarian embed.

Reach

  • https://www.ti.com/product/<PARTFAMILY> → the specific orderable (e.g. nRF… no; TI parts like TPS62840). Or google.com/search?q=<MPN> ti.com cad.

Gate

  • No login for STEP; the "CAD/Symbols, Footprints & 3D Models" section hands off to Ultra Librarian (free login) for the ECAD model → use the ultralibrarian site skill from there.

Download flow

  • Product page → Design & development → CAD/CAE symbols → STEP downloads directly; ECAD opens the UL flow.

Catch / When it breaks

  • Normalize into library/<MPN>/. If the UL embed changes, see the ultralibrarian skill. TI occasionally A/B-tests the product page layout — find the CAD section by its heading, not a fixed selector, and publish the fix (../../CONTRIBUTING.md).
