Q: Which EDA tools are supported?

We support KiCad via plugin and Altium Designer via the full-project export script. Other EDA tools that can export compatible netlist artifacts may also work. Contact us if you need support for a specific tool.

AI-powered schematic validation that checks your design against datasheets, with exact per-review pricing shown before you run.

Benefits

Beyond Traditional ERC

Your EDA tool checks connectivity rules. Traceformer checks your design against datasheets—catching the application-level errors that slip through.

Datasheet Cross-Reference

Validates your 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

These clips show the path from export and upload through datasheet retrieval, subsystem scoping, and evidence-backed issue review.

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

Common 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

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you prevent AI hallucinations?

Every finding cites specific datasheet pages as evidence. If the AI can't find supporting documentation, the check goes into 'Missing Info' rather than being reported as a verified issue. This lets you distinguish between evidence-backed findings and items needing manual review.

Does this replace my EDA tool's built-in ERC?

No. Traceformer focuses on datasheet and application-level issues—checking IC configurations, voltage domains, and interface requirements. Your EDA tool's ERC checks basic connectivity rules. Use both together for comprehensive checking.
