PCB Assistance-AI-powered PCB design assistance

Example

When designing a schematic for an IoT device, PCB Assistance helps you select components, wire them correctly, and ensure proper electrical connections between pins. It explains how to verify your schematic for errors before proceeding to the PCB layout phase.

Scenario

You’ve placed components but are unsure if the connections are correct. PCB Assistance helps with error checking and suggests component placement strategies.

Example

If you’re routing a high-speed signal on a 4-layer PCB, PCB Assistance provides advice on impedance control, ground plane optimization, and signal integrity techniques. It helps reduce cross-talk and noise, improving overall PCB performance.

Scenario

After creating a schematic, you need help with the layout for signal-sensitive components like microcontrollers and RF modules. PCB Assistance provides recommendations on via placement, trace width, and power plane design.

Example

If you need to create a custom footprint for a new component, PCB Assistance offers guidance on dimensioning, pad placement, and proper layer assignments. It ensures compatibility with your design’s manufacturing requirements.

Scenario

You have a new, custom component that doesn’t exist in standard KiCAD libraries. PCB Assistance helps you create and verify a new footprint, ensuring it meets your specific design and manufacturing standards.
