Smarter Circuit Design Reviews

Upload your netlist and BOM. Get power/GND/signal path analysis, design rule checks, and version control. Catch design issues that CAD ERC can't.

The Circuit Review Problem

Design quality depends heavily on reviewer experience.

ERC Has Limits

ERC only checks basic pin connections. It can't verify power path validity or logic level consistency.

🔍

Manual Reviews Don't Scale

Only experienced engineers catch subtle issues. Checklists help but can't cover everything.

🕑

Change Impact is Hard to Track

When a netlist changes, understanding the full impact requires re-checking all connections.

Key Features

1

Netlist Analysis

Parses netlists into structured pin/net/component data. Auto-links with BOM.

2

Power & GND Path Tracing

BFS from power ICs and connectors through passive components. Auto-propagates voltage attributes.

3

Design Rule Checks

Customizable rule sets with 3-tier hierarchy (system/user/project). Auto-detects design issues.

4

FPGA Support

Auto-generates FPGA pin libraries from IBIS files. I/O standard and voltage-aware analysis.

5

Version Control

Commit-based tracking of netlist changes. Diff view and restore to any point in time.

6

Run Comparison

Compare analysis results before and after netlist changes. See new/resolved findings at a glance.

How It Works
