PCB design,
automated.

From a product description to manufacturing-ready files. Designed, simulated, and reviewed — before you print.

Input
One prompt.
Manufacturing-ready files.
Describe what your board needs to do. PromptPCB handles part selection, schematic capture, layout, simulation, and review — then hands you Gerbers.
prompt
"Design a 4-layer board with USB-C power input, LiPo charging, a 3.3V buck regulator, SPI flash, Ethernet, and an SWD debug header."

Pipeline
12 steps. 10 automated.
Every connection checked against every datasheet. Every trace sized for current. Every rule verified against your manufacturer's specs.
AUTO
01

Requirements

Extract specs from a natural language description.

AUTO
02

Architecture

Map subsystems, power rails, and bus interfaces.

AUTO
03

Part Selection

Source every component from real parts libraries. In stock, verified.

AUTO
04

Datasheet Analysis

Read every datasheet. Extract pins, ratings, thermal limits, app notes.

AUTO
05

Schematic

Wire every component. Decoupling, pull-ups, boot config from datasheet rules.

AUTO
06

Design Review

Check every connection against every datasheet. Catch real bugs.

AUTO
07

Simulation

DC and transient analysis. Voltage rails, thermal heatmap, oscilloscope.

ASSIST
08

Layout

Place components with zero overlaps. Grouped by function, optimized for routing.

ASSIST
09

Routing

Connect traces with current-aware widths. Multi-layer stackup.

AUTO
10

DRC

Validate against manufacturer specs. Clearance, annular rings, drill sizes.

AUTO
11

Gerbers

Generate manufacturing files. Gerber, BOM, pick-and-place CSV.

MANUAL
12

Bring-up

The only step that still needs a human.

Proven
Bugs found.
Zero boards wasted.
The design review catches real issues that would cost you a fab run. Not theoretical — these are bugs found in actual designs.
3
Issues caught before manufacturing

Output capacitor underrated for regulator stability. Board would brown-out under load.

MCU power pin not connected. Chip would never boot — invisible on a schematic review.

Boot configuration pins floating. Microcontroller would enter wrong boot mode on power-up.

Simulation
Not just schematics.
Physics simulation.
DC analysis, transient simulation, thermal heatmap, and live oscilloscope traces — all running on the actual circuit before you fab.
V

Every voltage rail verified against datasheet specs

T

Thermal heatmap shows hotspots before you power on

Oscilloscope traces for transient behavior and timing
