Automated schematic checker for Altium Designer. Export full projects with our script, validate against datasheets, and see per-review cost before running.
Benefits
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.
Validates your Altium schematic against component datasheets. Verifies pin functions, voltage levels, and IC configurations that ERC can't check.
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.
Validates IC boot modes, configuration pins, external component requirements, and interface settings. Catches the subtle mistakes that prevent boards from powering on.
Product Flow
These clips cover the same modern review path used on the homepage, with full-project export, datasheet retrieval, subsystem selection, and issue inspection.
Create a project, export using our Altium export script or KiCad plugin, then upload your design files.
Choose the review model, scope the run to the subsystems you care about.
Let Traceformer pull in component datasheets automatically.
Launch the review, then step through issues with datasheet-backed evidence.
Issue Detection
Great at catching common mistakes
SDA/SCL lines missing pull-ups, wrong pull-up voltage rail, or parallel pull-ups creating too-strong drive strength
TX connected to TX instead of RX, or RX connected to RX—one of the most common debugging headaches caught before board spin
5V output driving 3.3V input without level shifting—damages ICs or causes unpredictable behavior
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
Full-project support with a direct export path from Altium
Full project coverage. Use our Altium export script to package complete projects for project-wide review.
Existing netlist-only workflows can still be imported, but the export script is the recommended path for complete context.
