Description
BV Circuits offers a versatile software platform that operates both in the cloud and on desktop systems for the evaluation of electronic schematics prior to the development of PCBs. Hardware engineers can submit a schematic PDF, a compatible EDA netlist, along with a bill of materials that includes manufacturer part numbers for analysis. The platform meticulously examines the schematic images and circuit connections, verifying component pin assignments, checking compatibility, assessing design rules, and analyzing logical behavior to uncover any possible errors and areas for enhancement. Users receive a detailed report outlining findings, warnings, and recommended actions to facilitate design investigation during the verification and review stages. BV Circuits accommodates file exports from various tools including KiCad, OrCAD, Altium Designer, EasyEDA, and Siemens Xpedition/PADS. For those looking to try the service, there is a free plan that allows limited weekly analysis previews, while paid subscriptions unlock comprehensive reports, PDF downloads, and monthly analysis credits. Additionally, an enterprise desktop version is available for organizations with greater needs, ensuring that all users can find a suitable option for their schematic review requirements.
Description
DipTrace is a professional PCB design suite from Novarm Ltd, in continuous development since 2004 and used by over 30,000 engineers across 50+ countries. Companies in aerospace, defense, medical devices, and industrial electronics rely on it for production work.
The suite covers the full design flow in one environment. Schematic Capture handles multi-sheet hierarchical projects with electrical rule check, a Digital SPICE Simulator for analog and digital circuits, and cross-selection with the board. PCB Layout provides interactive push-and-shove editing, where moving or rotating a placed component displaces neighbouring traces and vias as you work, and dragged traces route themselves around pads, keepouts, and existing copper. Designers choose whether design rules are enforced at all times or violations are permitted deliberately.
High-speed work is supported through differential pair routing, length matching, layer stackup management, and a PCB calculator. Manufacturing output covers Gerber X2, ODB++, IPC-2581, NC Drill, and STEP for mechanical CAD.
Version 5.3 introduced a native XML project format that mirrors the binary format feature for feature, making designs practical to keep under Git or another version control system. Component sourcing runs through a database-powered search with Mouser integration and SnapEDA access to more than 10 million parts.
Projects import from Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD, EasyEDA Pro, Pulsonix, and PADS.
DipTrace runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Licensing is perpetual — bought once, with no subscription or maintenance fees — across five editions starting at $75. Technical support is provided to every user, including those on the free edition.
