Design faster. Ship with confidence.

Every feature eliminates busywork between your idea and a working board.

📦

Never chase parts again

Every component is checked against real-time stock. Get automatic alternates ranked by availability, lifecycle status, and second-source options.

🧩

Schematic in minutes

Pre-validated templates for power supplies, MCU cores, CAN interfaces, and more. Specify requirements—we handle the implementation.

🛡️

Catch mistakes before fab

Design rules beyond ERC: decoupling validation, bulk cap checks, protection circuits, and datasheet-driven constraints.

📍

Smart placement

Deterministic component placement respecting signal integrity: power loops tight, decoupling close, connectors at edges.

📄

Production-ready BOM

Complete bill of materials with supplier links, alternates, and risk scoring. Hand it directly to procurement.

🔬

Understand every decision

Full explainability: why each component was chosen, which rules applied, and what tradeoffs were considered.

From requirements to PCB in four steps

1

Define Requirements

Input voltage range, output rails, interfaces, and preferences in the wizard.

2

Smart Selection

Components scored by availability, lifecycle, and compatibility. Best matches selected.

3

Generate & Validate

Schematic assembled from templates, design rules verified, violations flagged.

4

Place & Export

Components placed on PCB, BOM generated with alternates, ready for routing.

Built for real hardware projects

Industrial

Sensor Nodes & Controllers

Design rugged MCU-based boards with wide input voltage, CAN/RS-485 interfaces, and industrial-grade protection.

  • 9-36V input with reverse polarity protection
  • CAN 2.0B with proper termination
  • TVS and ESD protection auto-added
  • Long-lifecycle component priority
Prototyping

Rapid Development Boards

Quickly spin up dev boards with debug headers, common interfaces, and easy-to-source components.

  • SWD/JTAG debug headers
  • USB, UART, SPI breakouts
  • Priority on in-stock, 0-day lead time
  • 0603 passives for hand assembly
Production

Volume Manufacturing

Design for production with multi-source requirements, lifecycle-aware selection, and assembly-ready outputs.

  • Mandatory second-source for every part
  • Avoid NRND/EOL components
  • Cost-optimized passive selection
  • Complete BOM with supplier links
Teams

Engineering Teams

Standardize design practices across your team with shared templates, rules, and component libraries.

  • Consistent design patterns
  • Shared approved parts lists
  • Custom rule enforcement
  • Team license management

Supply-chain intelligence built in

Every component selection is backed by real availability data and smart scoring.

Component Scoring Engine

Each part is evaluated across multiple dimensions and ranked to give you the best options for your constraints.

  • Availability score based on distributor stock levels
  • Lifecycle status: Active, NRND, or EOL flagging
  • Second-source availability for supply resilience
  • Package compatibility with your assembly process
  • Automatic alternate discovery with similar specs
