Description

Flux is a browser-based electronic design automation (EDA) platform for designing printed circuit boards. It brings schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation, routing, and design rule checks into a shared online workspace. Its AI hardware design assistant helps turn plain-language circuit requirements into schematics, research components, place parts, route traces, and review designs. Engineers can edit the results, define design constraints, and review the board before manufacturing. Multiple users can work on the same design in real time, leave comments, and manage project permissions. Reusable community circuits and component libraries help teams start new designs, while live component pricing and availability support part selection. Flux exports Gerber, bill of materials (BOM), and pick-and-place files. It accepts Altium ASCII and Cadence EDIF schematics and KiCad component libraries. These imports do not include PCB layouts. Flux is used by electronics engineers, hardware startups, and product teams. A trial includes limited AI usage; after the trial, a paid plan is required to edit or export private projects and use AI. Public-project and community access remain available.

Description

Microwave Office facilitates the design of various RF passive components, including filters, couplers, and attenuators, along with active devices functioning under small-signal (AC) conditions, such as low noise and buffer amplifiers. Its linear configuration allows for the simulation of S-parameters (Y/Z/H/ABCD), small-signal gain, linear stability, noise figure, return loss, and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), complemented by features like real-time tuning, optimization, and yield analysis. Each E-series Microwave Office portfolio encompasses synchronous schematic and layout editors, 2D and 3D viewers, and extensive libraries featuring high-frequency distributed transmission models, as well as surface-mount vendor component RF models complete with footprints. Additionally, it offers measurement-based simulations and RF plotting capabilities. Microwave Office PCB further enhances the design process by enabling both linear and nonlinear RF circuit design through the advanced APLAC HB simulator, which provides powerful multi-rate HB, transient-assisted HB, and time-variant simulation engines for comprehensive RF/microwave circuit analysis. This extensive toolset empowers engineers to push the boundaries of RF design and streamline their development workflows effectively.
