Benefits

Enhanced Altium ERC with AI

Altium Designer has powerful built-in checks, but can't validate against datasheets. Traceformer fills the gap—catching design errors that only appear in documentation.

Datasheet Cross-Reference

Validates your Altium schematic against component datasheets. Verifies pin functions, voltage levels, and IC configurations that ERC can't check.

Evidence-Based Findings

Every finding cites specific datasheet pages so you can verify the reasoning yourself. No guessing—if there's no documentation to support an issue, it goes to "Missing Info" for manual review.

Component Configuration

Validates IC boot modes, configuration pins, external component requirements, and interface settings. Catches the subtle mistakes that prevent boards from powering on.

Product Flow

See the Altium review flow

These clips cover the same modern review path used on the homepage, with full-project export, datasheet retrieval, subsystem selection, and issue inspection.

Upload Your Design

Create a project, export using our Altium export script or KiCad plugin, then upload your design files.

Select Model and Subsystems

Choose the review model, scope the run to the subsystems you care about.

Fetch Datasheets Automatically

Let Traceformer pull in component datasheets automatically.

Start review

Launch the review, then step through issues with datasheet-backed evidence.

Issue Detection

Altium Design Errors We Catch

Great at catching common mistakes

Missing I2C Pull-Up Resistors

SDA/SCL lines missing pull-ups, wrong pull-up voltage rail, or parallel pull-ups creating too-strong drive strength

UART TX/RX Swapped

TX connected to TX instead of RX, or RX connected to RX—one of the most common debugging headaches caught before board spin

5V/3.3V Level Mismatch

5V output driving 3.3V input without level shifting—damages ICs or causes unpredictable behavior

Floating Enable & Boot Pins

EN/SHDN pins not driven or pulled to defined level, boot strap pins left floating, or GPIO0 missing pull resistor for programming mode

Format Support

Altium Project Support

Full-project support with a direct export path from Altium

Export Script (Recommended)

Full project coverage. Use our Altium export script to package complete projects for project-wide review.

Legacy Netlist Imports

Existing netlist-only workflows can still be imported, but the export script is the recommended path for complete context.

FAQ

Altium Schematic Review FAQs

What should I export from Altium?
Use our Altium export script ZIP for best results. It packages the full project context and includes the generated EDIF (.edf/.edif) artifact required for parsing.
Does this replace Altium's built-in ERC?
No, Altium ERC checks basic connectivity and electrical rules. Traceformer validates against datasheets, checking IC configurations, voltage domains, and interface requirements that ERC can't verify. Use both together.
